In Progress: A New Local Plan for Milton Keynes, UKHarumichi YAMADAMilton Keynes is known as the largest New Town development in the UK. Conceived in the late 1960s, Milton Keynes has successfully been one of the fastest-growing areas in the UK from the 1970s on. To be precise, development of Milton Keynes as a New Town was halted in 1992 due to dissolution of the Milton Keynes Development Corporation, which had been the key player in the UK's largest urban development project. Since then, the role of the Milton Keynes Council has become more important in the development of the area, especially after the Milton Keynes Borough acquired unitary entity in 1997. In 1998, the Council started the procedure for a new Local Plan of the Borough for the period of 2001-2011. This is the first Local Plan the Council drew free from the influence of the Development Corporation, and will show a new direction for the further development of the former New Town and its environs. The Deposit version of the new Local Plan was published in September 2000, and changes have been under discussion since then. The end of 2001 should deposit the revised version of the Local Plan again. Further procedure includes public inquiry and inspection by the Inspector appointed by the national government, and the Plan will be finalized in 2003 or later. Although there still are occasions where further revisions for details may be given, directions and structures of the Local Plan seem to be well established enough to remain unchanged. Some of the ideas in the Plan show fairly different directions from those formerly seen in the New Town scheme. One of the most apparent changes is the shift of priority in transportation policy. Motorization was presumed in the development scheme of the New Town, and the road network and parking facilities in Milton Keynes are known as the most efficient and successful examples. Excessive dependency upon motorization, however, is now under reconsideration. The new Local Plan encourages more convenience for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transportation. The shift in transportation policy affects different aspects of the development, including higher density of dwellings for residential districts, smaller scale neighbourhood shopping facilities, and previously restricted use of residence as a home office. |
