Summary of Proposed Changes

Policy criteria has been reviewed to recognise the larger allocation. SKPR-309 combines land submissions SKPR-120 and SKPR-232. SKPR-120 was proposed as an allocation in the Draft Local Plan.

Allocation SKPR-120 has been combined with a part of the adjacent land submission SKPR-232 to enable appropriate access into the site and meet the minimum housing requirement for South Kesteven over the plan period.

Policy has been amended to include pre-commencement investigations requirements, and the requirement for a masterplan and Transport Assessment.
