The government updated its Bedford entertainment-resort planning page on 16 October 2026, adding a construction-management document covering mass grading under Condition 12.
The planning background
The site is at the former brickworks and adjoining land at Kempston Hardwick, Bedford. The relevant special development order came into force on 12 January 2026.
According to the government’s guidance, the order grants planning permission for an entertainment resort complex and associated development, subject to conditions and limitations.
What the update establishes
The latest addition forms part of the official record of notices and controlling documents. It is a document update within an existing planning framework, rather than evidence that a new unrestricted permission has been granted.
Readers assessing a nearby property or development opportunity should distinguish the existence of planning permission from assumptions about completion dates, operating schedules or future values. None of those outcomes is established by this document update.
