Planning permission was granted last month for a dentist unit at the local centre of Bidwell West. The local centre is currently nearing completion and should be ready by the end of 2022.
When planning permission was originally granted for the Local Centre it was not envisaged that a dentist would be among the demand for facilities but the Pegasus group say that they have had significant interest from the dentistry establishment. The actual planning permission relates to the change of use for one unit from retail to class D4 which includes dentists. It is thought that with a dentist in the parade of shops that will encourage footfall to the other retail units and will therefore complement the offering at the Local Centre.
Central Bedfordshire planning department received no objections and the Houghton Regis Town Council also reviewed it and had no objections.
