3. Proposed Changes to the Housing and Mixed-Use Site Allocations Proposed through the 2024 Regulation 18 Draft Local Plan

Removal of proposed allocations

3.1 Following the Draft Local Plan consultation (2024), the housing sites which will not form part of the Regulation 19 Pre-Submission Local Plan are set out below. We are not seeking any further comments on these sites as part of this consultation.

Table 3: Removal of proposed allocations

Policy Code	Settlement	Location	Indicative number of dwellings	Reasoning for not taking forward allocation
SKPR-268	Grantham	Station Approach (mixed-use)	268	Concerns regarding site deliverability
SKPR-57	Grantham	Belton Lane	628	Significant impact on highways
SKPR-144	The Deepings	Millfield Road, Market Deeping	200	Proposed land allocations are focused to the east of the Deepings
SKPR-74	Harlaxton	Land West of The Drift	24	Full planning permission has been granted

Amendments to site capacity

3.2 Some proposed allocations from the Draft Local Plan consultation have been expanded in size by including adjacent land submissions. Site policy codes in the previous consultation may have changed but the original site submission references as previously consulted on have been included in this consultation for clarity.

3.3 Additionally, as recommended by the Housing Density Study (2025), indicative site densities of some allocations in the four main towns, Grantham, Stamford, Bourne, and The Deepings have increased.

Existing and proposed housing supply

3.6 A breakdown of housing completions since the start of the plan period (2023), current commitments (full, reserved matters, and outline permission), and current adopted and proposed Local Plan allocations by settlement are set out in Table 7 below.

3.7 The total supply is based on the projected delivery of sites across the plan period up to 2043, as some sites are projected to be completed beyond the plan period. Please note that these figures will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis during the preparation of the Local Plan.

Table 7: Existing and proposed housing supply

Location	Completions (2023/24)	Existing Supply as at 31 April 2024*	Adopted Local Plan housing land allocations	Proposed Local Plan housing land allocations	Total supply (based on delivery up to 2043)

*existing supply includes commitments, consents, council capital programmes, windfall allowance based on 30 dwellings per annum, (not including small site lapse rate).

3.8 Table 8 below sets out the percentage distribution based on completions, current commitments, adopted Local Plan allocations and windfall. This distribution is heavily influenced by the scale of allocations made in the adopted Local Plan.
