Neighbourhood Plan Update – July 2025
New Sub-Committee Launched to Help Deliver the Neighbourhood Plan
We’re excited to share the latest development in the ongoing journey of the Houghton Regis Neighbourhood Plan.
The Town Council has now set up a Neighbourhood Plan Implementation Sub-Committee to help bring the ambitions of the Plan to life. This dedicated group will focus on ensuring the priorities set out in the Neighbourhood Plan are followed through and delivered in a meaningful way for the benefit of our community.
The Sub-Committee will meet bi-annually to monitor progress, explore new opportunities, and work with a wide range of partners to ensure the Plan continues to make a positive and lasting difference in the town.
We’re now inviting local residents to get involved by applying to become a co-opted member of the Sub-Committee. This is a great chance for people who care about the future of Houghton Regis to play a hands-on role in shaping how the Plan is implemented.
You don’t need to be an expert in planning – just enthusiastic, community-minded, and willing to contribute ideas and insight. Whether your interests lie in green spaces, heritage, transport, housing, or simply making the town a better place to live, we’d love to hear from you.
If you’d like to find out more or express your interest in joining the Sub-Committee, please contact the Town Council Office. Updates will continue to be shared on the website and through our usual channels.
Together, we can make the vision of the Neighbourhood Plan a reality.

SEA Screening Determination Statement
The expansion that happened in the 1960’s changed Houghton Regis from a small village into a town, but a town that was more like a large village. The changes currently proposed will change it into a large town.
In order to cope and prosper, many other things to change, and it is only fair and right that the people most affected—those who lived and worked in the town—should have had their say on those changes.
