2014 Local Development Order(LDO) for the Woodside Industrial Estate

Central Bedfordshire Council (CBC) (the Local Planning Authority) is proposing to revise and adopt the 2014 Local Development Order(LDO) for the Woodside Industrial Estate and adjacent industrial areas in Dunstable hereafter referred to for simplicity just as “Woodside”. The new proposed version of the document is open to public consultation from  27th July to 7th September 2020.

LDOs allow minor works and changes of use to be carried out without the need for planning permission and their main purpose is to simplify the planning permission process. The LDO will also  be a useful tool to assist businesses in adapting to new layouts and various other changes to their premises necessitated by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and their response to recovering from the impact of this on their business.
