MK Summary_(61K) Summary Report (long version)_(569K) These documents offer a brief synopsis of the South East Plan Inspectors Report published on 29th August 2007 and its implications for Milton Keynes.

Independent planning inspectors published their report on the South East Plan on 29 August following four months of public hearings from November 2006 to March 2007.

The full inspectors' report is available at the Government Office for the South East website. Go to:

to identify these boys from the 1970's

Project Flyer_(1938K) Milton Keynes Gallery hopes to launch a campaign next week via local press to try to identify three boys from Wavendon interviewed in 1970 in a film about the planned expansion of Milton Keynes.

The film is to feature in our inaugural exhibition in the new Milton Keynes Gallery Project Space (formerly the Visitor Information Centre), opposite Milton Keynes Gallery. You will find further details on the attached card MK Gallery are about to mail to all its contacts to advertise the exhibition.

The film's Director, Michael Macrae, will be coming back to Milton Keynes for the exhibition opening and also to give a free public talk on Saturday 2 December. The gallery would love to be able to trace the three boys featured in the film and to invite them to the exhibition opening and to reacquaint them with Michael Macrae.

If you have any suggestions then do please give Katharine Sorensen,Head of Communications, MK Gallery a call on direct line 01908 558302.

in Milton Keynes Questioned

Ditch Plans to concrete south_(52K) Plans by the Government to concrete over large areas of the South East should be scrapped and millions of new homes built instead in London and along the Thames, says a Government adviser.

Sir Terry Farrell, the international architect who advises the Thames Gateway Development Corporation, has told ministers that there is room for millions of homes in the area between the East End of London and Dartford, Kent, and that Government plans for the area "lack vision".

Reply with Your Thoughts on Growth

The South East Plan will provide the overarching statutory framework for development in the South East Region - including Milton Keynes - to 2026. By this autumn Milton Keynes Council and Buckinghamshire County Council need to advise Government how new housing growth at Milton Keynes should be accommodated in and around the City.

They want to know what you think about the growth proposals. Fill in the questionnaire at MK2031 Website

Summer Briefing

The MK2031 growth plan was considered by the board of Milton Keynes Partnership at its next meeting held on 12 June 2006.Draft Plan for Milton Keynes_(190K)

see English Partnerships

MKP voted 8:2 to make this Growth Strategy the submission to the South East Plan. The closing date for any submissions is June 23.
The public examination of the South East plan is to be in November of this year.The South East plan will provide statutory guidance to the local planning authorities (including Milton Keynes Council) in the region for the period to 2026.

The MK2031 growth plan has to identify locations for 34,000 houses. This is over and above anything (such as the northern, eastern and western expansion areas; completion of the new city area; the city centre etc) contained in the current local plan for Milton Keynes.

MKP propose 11 to 14,000 of these houses within the existing city. This is equivalent to a town about the size of Dover, Hatfield or Leighton Buzzard.These houses are to be mainly within the city centre and along the V7 Saxon Street corridor.

The remainder (20 to 23,000)are to be
around Newton Longville(in Aylesbury Vale)and
around Wavendon, Woburn Sands and Aspley Guise. Part of this area is within Mid Beds and outside the South East Region.

MKP have carried out an urban potential study. It may illustrate how the 11 to 14,000 houses could be accommodated within the existing city but it is not yet published.

Milton Keynes Council, Aylsbury Vale DC, Mid Beds DCCouncils are to make their own submissions to the South East plan. A further stage of consultation on the MK2031 growth plan is to be held over the summer. This is likely to be led by the local authorities rather than MKP. The results of this consultation are to be fed into the public examination of the south east plan in November.

The urban potential study is to be published with the report and other papers for the MKP board meeting of June 12. It is likely to be available on the MKP web site from about June 5. The MKP website is at

If you wish to make any comments on the MK2031 growth plan then please submit them to the south east plan consultation at Response to SE Plan

The closing date is Friday June 23rd 2006.

Milton Keynes Residents demand a Junction 13a on the M1

Do you think we should have a new motorway junction between Junctions 13 and 14 on the M1?

Traffic in Milton Keynes is rising and predicted to rise further as Milton Keynes grows in size. The areas around Junctions 13 and 14 of the M1 get very congested at times. One way to ease this is to build a new motorway junction between Junctions 13 and 14 called Junction 13A.

This new junction would not only help to ease congestion around Junctions 13 and 14 but would also improve access from the M1 for people travelling to and from Milton Keynes.

The Highways Agency is responsible for motorways and trunk roads. We will use your views to inform the Highways Agency of the level of support for a new junction 13A.

Please let us have your views on this by writing to The Head of Transport Policy at Milton keynes Council or emailing your responses to Transport Policy by 5 April 2005.
