The proposed development is too large for a village of Corby Glen's size and available facilities. On top of the recent 2 developments (one of which is still being constructed, which I live in) if this proposal and the other one were approved, that would be a total of almost 700 new houses in a village of only 1000 residents. That would be fitting in a town 30x the size but not in a small village with limited transport links and very limited facilities 15-20 minutes drive to local towns. The current agreed 260 new houses is comparatively enough.

I would have no objections to the proposed site that runs from Bourne Road to Swinstead Road around the current development by David Wilson Homes but I do object to the land adjacent to The Ron Dawson Memorial Hall being used for development. The infrastructure for the village should be looked into.

We support the need for more housing in Corby Glen in principle but both of these sites are in unsustainable locations, too far from the village centre. People won’t walk that far and there is insufficient parking in the Square for them to drive; more traffic will also affect residential amenity for those living in the centre. Should development go ahead, onsite amenities would be required as part of the development mix; shops, playgrounds, open spaces, cycle routes etc. Consideration would also need to be given to the capacity of existing schools and health centre to support new demand.

As a resident of Corby Glen I wish to lodge my objection to this proposal. The village has already had a significant increase of new housing over the last few years. I believe further new build of this scale is totally disproportionate to the size and nature of Corby Glen.

I have studied the geography and structure of the village of Corby Glen and fail to understand the reasoning and wisdom of such an extensive development. It appears grossly unreasonable to enforce the burden of so much additional housing into so small a community village, which already has issues with some services.

I am totally opposed to this development and urge the Council to reject the proposed development.

I wish to register my objection to the proposed development of 144 + 293 houses on land to the west and south of the village.

The current developments are ruining a rural agricultural village with over crowding on the streets, parking, lack of facilities. Already problems are caused to overflow of raw sewage near the children’s play area. I wish to object most strongly to any further developments and the spoiling of a historic rural Lincolnshire village.

I am writing to raise my objection to the proposed plans in the local area for a substation and housing developments within the village.

My concerns extend to (but not exclusively to): Traffic congestion, access and infrastructure to local services especially the primary school in the village, dismantling of village culture, noise pollution, impact on my personal house price, future developments that may come after this.

This development is not appropriate of wanted in the area. There are already tensions with some of the locals and the existing new builds. Expanding further will potentially destroy the heart of the village. The needs and desires of us living in the village currently must be listened to.

In light of recent developments over the last 25 years this seems insane to be considering with the current infrastructure already under strain (sewage issues off the new Allison & David Wilson developments), parking a growing problem and also recent increases in anti social behaviour which I'm not aware ever occurred before.

This is a small, rural community and although I recognise there's a national need for new housing it has to be planned in areas that can accommodate the homes and new residents with minimum negative impact.

I feel Corby Glen has already absorbed a large number of new builds and yet nearby villages have not had to absorb any - why is this?

For all the new residents arriving in the village there appears to be no upturn in use of the local amenities (pubs, shops, clubs & societies), in fact the exact opposite seems to be happening.

The land around Corby Glen has a tendency to both flood and then hold moisture during the winter, and from what I have seen the fields earmarked for planning proposals 247 & 233 are more prone to this than others.

I am writing to object to the addition of 144 + 293 additional houses to the above local plan.

Having lived in Corby Glen for 18 years I have seen significant changes to the village and I am not against change but the village cannot cope with additional houses as proposed.

The village does not have the infrastructure with only 1 small shop and 2 school, both of which are at capacity. The road is also very busy with a current speeding problem and with a lack of traffic management that will only get worse with that number of new houses.

Corby Glen has already seen the addition of nearly 300 new houses on the last 2 years, a number of which aren’t sold and some of which have now been additionally to social housing.

With limited public transport the village cannot accommodate more social housing and anti-social behaviour has already increased in the village.

There are other local villages who have not seen an increase in houses like we have where these hiyses can be placed.

It’s also my understanding that these houses have been added to the plan as a late addition so can easily be removed.

When I moved to the village in 2012, it was a vibrant, close-knit community with a distinctive character — one defined by its historic stone architecture, rural setting, and the mutual support of its residents. However, following the recent development that increased housing from around 450 to 700 homes, we have already seen significant strain on both the character and cohesion of the village.

I object to these proposals on the grounds of:

Unsustainable and rapid expansion beyond the village’s infrastructure capacity;

Loss of village character and heritage through inappropriate design;

Mismatch between housing provision and local need; Feels like a numbers game to say 'we have built this many houses' rather than the right housing in the right place to meet the needs of the nation.

Lack of transport, employment and support infrastructure for vulnerable residents;

Lack of consideration for the wants and needs of local residents.

Disregard for the agreed and voted in Neighbourhood Plan.

I urge the Council to respect the needs and wishes of existing residents and to prioritise development that enhances, rather than erodes, the unique identity of Corby Glen.

Scale of Development:
This represents an unsustainable expansion of our village - nearly tripling the village size

Infrastructure:
Utilities: Existing water, sewage, and electrical infrastructure wasn't designed to accommodate dramatic population growth. See: the ongoing sewage ’stink’ situation at the new Swinstead Rd development.
Healthcare: Local GP services/healthcare facilities are already stretched and cannot absorb additional residents
Education: Local schools lack capacity for significant increase
Digital Infrastructure: Broadband and mobile coverage is already inadequate

Transportation:
Aside from the A151, village roads are narrow and unsuitable
Parking capacity is already insufficient
Public transport links are limited
Increased traffic will create safety hazards

Community:
Further loss of rural character and village identity
Further loss of rural landscape
Pressure on local amenities and services
Negative impact on existing residents' quality of life
Disproportionate burden on a small rural community

Property/Economic Concerns:
Oversupply risk depressing property values for residents. Many of the initial phase remain unsold
Strain on local businesses

Request for Action:
Conduct comprehensive infrastructure impact assessments
Stop or very significantly reduce the proposed housing allocation for Corby Glen, distribute development evenly across the district
Ensure infrastructure improvements precede development

This level of concentrated development will fundamentally damage the community that residents value highly.

Scale of development: Drowning of my village in an ocean of new house building. 65% increase in the last 3 years- growth of 292 houses. One village shouldn't bear the brunt of all the new builds for this area. I agree on the need for more housing, this isn't the right place- amount of affordable housing is minimal.
Identity: Already beginning to lose village's charm and identity. Corby Glen is a special place to live; very friendly and sociable village with a tight-knit community, so why destroy this?
Infrastructure: Not upgraded with the recent influx of new housing. Sewers now smell due to overload. No extra health facilities or schooling.
Employment: No work in the area to support such a large increase- concern of becoming a satellite town with a destroyed community.
Pylons/substation: No strong objections. We do need the infrastructure- shame it cannot be buried underground, but I dare say this isn't cost-effective. The proposed substation does seem to be extremely large- should be moved further away from the village. Location on stretch of road with a sharp bend and the railway bridge obscuring the view would make this a very dangerous road hazard for site traffic.

This is a village that does not have the infrastructure to support the development.

Swinstead Road already suffers from an odour problem from the drains as a result of the recent and ongoing development that has not been addressed or resolved.

This development will:
• have an adverse and detrimental effect on the local countryside and environment.
•have a detrimental effect in the character of Corby Glen as village- making it a small town
• increase the traffic on narrow village roads, unable to support parking and damage existing infrastructure. Swinstead road is a small country road with excessive traffic which will be significantly increased as a result. The crossroad by the Woodhouse Arms is a risky crossing with poor viability to cross the A151. The junction from the new development of James Ancaster Avenue also has quite poor visibility. Speeding is a persistent problem on this road.
•house significant numbers of people with no economic opportunities to support them- likely to end up commuting into towns with minimal public transport available to support a commuting population.

I oppose these plans for these reasons:

1. Number of new properties
Corby Glen has recently had a lot of properties built. The village size has increased significantly- placing an extra load onto already stretched infrastructure. Adding 437 new homes is unacceptable, does not add any benefit to the village.

2. Infrastructure
Not enough local infrastructure to support these new homes. Not seen new shops, GP/Dr's, dentist practises, schools, police coverage, more frequent refuse collections etc.

3. Traffic
Will increase traffic within the village, with more entering and exiting each day. New more restrictive traffic restrictions will come into force, pushing the 30 mph zones further on Bourne and Swinstead roads

4. Future plans
I believe these plans only serve SKDC and the landowners the developments are planned for. These proposals open the village to more future development. Corby Glen is a rural village, so this is unacceptable- shouldn't be open without listening and understanding the wishes of the local community, who don't want new houses or subsequent proposals that will undoubtably come.

5. Houses for Sale
Properties are still for sale on the new developments; there's no requirement for more houses here, prospective homeowners don't desire to live here.

My spouse and I wish to formally object to the recently revised local plan, which proposes the construction of an additional 437 houses in our village.

Concerns Regarding Infrastructure
We are particularly concerned that the current plan does not adequately consider the impact such a significant development will have on the village’s existing infrastructure. Specifically, there appears to be a lack of detail regarding improvements or expansions to essential utilities, including electricity, water, and sewage systems.

Healthcare Facilities
It is already notoriously difficult to secure a doctor’s appointment in our area, and the new plan offers no information about plans to increase GP capacity or enhance local healthcare services.

Education and Childcare
School placements and childcare availability are already challenging for many families in the village. There is no mention of how these issues will be addressed with the expected increase in population.

Local Amenities
The village currently suffers from a lack of local shops and amenities, and the plan fails to address how this situation will be improved to support new residents.

We formally object to the proposed housing development in Corby Glen due to several concerns:

Scale of Development: Significant expansion since 2020 meets local housing needs. Further growth could triple housing numbers, risking transformation into a small town and threatening community character and sustainability.

Density and Overdevelopment: The proposed development would over-intensify land use, leading to:

An urbanized feel undermining village identity

Crowding of amenities like schools and healthcare

Reduced green space and pressure on ecosystems

Precedent for unchecked development

Infrastructure Deficiencies: No improvements to essential services have been made despite growth, including healthcare, school capacity, and public transport.

Traffic and Environmental Impact: Increased traffic through narrow streets poses hazards and raises pollution levels, which have not been addressed.

Loss of Village Character: The proposed development threatens access to the countryside and the village's peaceful atmosphere, impacting local wildlife and habitats.

Design and Sustainability: Current housing lacks architectural harmony with the village and does not prioritize sustainability.

Social Impact: Population increases may lead to higher crime and antisocial behavior, impacting community safety.

In conclusion, this proposal poses unsustainable risks to Corby Glen. We urge South Kesteven District Council to reconsider its long-term impact on our village's identity, infrastructure, and environment.

I oppose the proposal for an additional 437 houses in Corby Glen. The 2013 Corby Glen Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan states that the area is designated for special architectural/historic interest, which must be preserved. Allowing more houses undermines this conservation effort and the integrity of existing heritage assets.

Key points:

The NPPF emphasizes the importance of protecting designated heritage assets.

Archaeological evidence shows long-term settlement in the area, highlighting its historical significance.

Increased housing would threaten the thirty-six Grade I and II listed buildings and strain existing infrastructure, including drainage, electricity, water supply.

The village already faces flooding issues, which would worsen with more development and compromise existing buildings. Last week, the manhole covers in the children’s playground were overflowing after rain, which is a health hazard. The Flood map GOV.UK shows that Bourne Road A151 is blocked during flooding, preventing access into/out of the village.

Local amenities (healthcare services, primary school, shop) are already insufficient for current residents.

New residents commute to work, adding strain to the already busy Bourne Road A151 without benefiting the local economy.

In conclusion, Corby Glen is unsuitable for further housing expansion, as it compromises the character and integrity of the village.

It will damage the landscape, natural environment, and wildlife. The village does not have the infrastructure to support more houses, it's going to increase traffic and put strain on the small village schools as well as doctor's surgeries. It's a village, not a town, it doesn't have the employment opportunities or public transport a town has and yet is being built on as if it has this infrastructure in place.

The development is too large for the village which has seen a rapid growth in the past few years.

As a resident of Corby Glen I wish to object to the proposed plans to erect a further 437 houses in the village. We currently have no school places available/ no capacity at the doctors surgeries to take on any new residents. The infastrucure is not in place to accomadate any more people. The roads are already busy and the public transport to allow travel to surrounding areas for work etc is in adequate, meaning all travel has to be via car.

There appears to be no plans for shops to be added, again meaning travel by road to shop. This housing plan offers no benefit to the existing village and will not help existing facilities grow. My understanding is that the current houses that have been built have not yet been sold, so building more in the area does not make are sense. The existing properties, in some places have a major problem with sewage/water etc , which needs rectifying.

In conclusion corby glen is not the correct place to build any more houses.

I have serious concerns about the further allocation of 293 houses to Corby Glen. I am further disappointed that the Neighbourhood Plan, which raised a number of concerns about the impact on our village, seems to have been ignored. As things stand, Corby Glen is set to expand to a total of 727 houses since 2011, with minimal change to the village’s infrastructure or facilities. I feel that the latest decision to allocate yet more housing to Corby Glen has been made with little regard to the particular needs and circumstances of our community, and I urge SKDC to reconsider.

Won't benefit the local community- scale of additional proposed development isn't proportionate to village environment/infrastructure.

Local primary school is already over subscribed, the secondary school facility would be equally so. GP surgeries/dispensary are already struggling to keep up with demand, increase will exacerbate the problem to detriment of residents.

Approved social housing developments on Swinstead Road and Allison & David Wilson homes currently in build will likely double the population. This is more than sufficient; lack of opportunity for local work and limited amenities. The small local shop/public house/cafes/primary school are situated in the heart of the village where streets are narrow, customers compete for space with residents parked on the road. Dangerous and unhealthy for pedestrians.

Lack of amenities makes travel a necessity. Villages/hamlets on A151 will be subjected to increased traffic causing noise/inconvenience/increased pollution/risk to residents.

Large housing project in Colsterworth, only 5 miles from Corby Glen- what research supports the need for further housing in this area. David Wilson project in Corby Glen has been scaled back due to insufficient demand for planned housing.

I hope this consultation is a genuine opportunity to garner resident views and SKDC won't sanction further housing development if not supported.
