This development will impact our already over stretched village with more cars, road traffic, noise and pollution.
And major congestion getting in and out of the village onto A15, which is already heavily congested.

As a civil engineer I I am concerned about the existing drainage issues in Thurlby, and more houses is only going to make this worse. I would be interested to know if anglian water have agreed to let you discharge more sewage into the existing sewers in Thurlby. Also the traffic is already quite bad in particular the high street and a15 junction, also the traffic this development will add will only make this problem worse.

The traffic going through Thurlby is already heavy and it is difficult to turn out from High Street onto the A15 at peak times. Whenever there is a period of heavy rain, the drains quickly back up and some houses regularly flood. Similarly, the sewage system is already overloaded after a lot of rain, meaning there can be raw sewage on the road and our toilets back up. Thurlby doesn’t have the capacity for more houses, people, cars, with the current infrastructure.

Thurlby should not remain static and thus I support this application. (Note : Objection to SKPR-56 as growth to the village should be gradual and in the right place). However, SKPR-277 should only be carried out when all the correct services, water drainage, road infrastructure etc. are in place ensuring that these are not detrimental to the existing villagers.

this development is not ideal for this area due to the strain on local resources are you forgetting that there is a massive development in the area that started in 2001 it is still in progress for the next 5 years . this has placed strain on the local services the Traffic is on the increase if these un needed homes are built there is going to be more strain on the drainage systems we have already had raw sewage spill along our roads toilet paper everywhere the wildlife is already struggling this area does not need to give itself

This Development if Approved, will only compound an already chaotic Peak Time Queue that backs up at the A15 Crossroads waiting for motorists to Turn Right towards Peterborough, for residents who live & park on the High Street during peak times will be 'Penned In' due to the Access to this Development being too close to the Main Road.

* Infrastructure already at over capacity.
* Other 'Proposed' Development and Future 'Infill' development will only Add to the Existing Road & Infrastructure problems.
* Strong local opposition.

PLEASE DO NOT TURN OUR VILLAGE INTO A HOUSING ESTATE!

Vehicular access via Obthorpe-Lane creates multiple safety issues. The majority of traffic, particularly rush-hour, will be Peterborough-bound. All such vehicles will turn left, down the SINGLE-TRACK joining A15 within a 60mph limit, being the quickest most direct route, increasing numbers of vehicles doing so by dangerously high multiples, all turning right, across the carriageway which is faster than that North of Thurlby prior to reduced speed-limit (anyone Northbound will access A15 via village)
I'm aware of single-dwellings denied on this road for this very reason. Potentially 100 additional cars, multiple journeys daily. Add walkers from the village accessing Dole Woods.

I object to these plans as our green spaces should be cherished and protected especially with the substantial amount of new housing already being erected in other areas of this and neighbouring counties. Thurlby is a small village and not equipped for this amount of new housing. It will have a debilitating effect on traffic, and facilities such as doctors and dentists in Bourne and potentially Deeping (who are already fighting their own housing development battle), as there will be an influx in new patients which these small practises will struggle to manage.

The proposed expansion would increase the population density of the small village significantly without consideration of the impacts to local services and infrastructure. Thurlby Primary School is at capacity, the nearest nurseries are in Bourne, local GP surgeries are at capacity and there’s no NHS dentist taking on new patients. Considering the expansion of Bourne and Market Deeping this really will compound the issue putting too much pressure on local services and infrastructure. Traffic would increase significantly on roads that have already had fatal accidents, making access worse and increase risk of more tragedies. Safe access needs to be considered

There is no clear access to this site except from the A15. Access to the High street will complicate the lower end of the High street where cars park down one side of the road narrowing it to a single file road for sections. It is already difficult to turn right (Southbound) onto the A15 from the High Street and the new estate will increase traffic trying to access the A15 from the High Street and make an existing problem worse.
Sewage disposal at this end of Thurlby is already at maximum capacity and cannot cope with the additional houses.

Current rainwater drainage in the High Street is insufficient and often overflows in heavy downpours. Obthorpe Lane is too narrow for additional traffic and existing residents should not loose part of their properties for any widening. Currently insufficient school places and no plans to address this issue. Bottleneck’s at peak times with traffic trying to get onto the A15 both at Thurlby and Northorpe junctions any further developments would only make this worse.

We currently have poor road conditions, so not have the school system to support, local town is over subscribed with doctors and dentists. In the village we see significant issues with flooding. Accessing the A15 in the mornings is already difficult adding more houses will contribute to making this worse. If there is an accident on the a15 these roads become congested causing further issues. The road is a single road and struggles with passing cars.
The village isn’t equipped to deal with more houses and more cars.

This is a historic allocation with owners showing no interest in developing the land. There have been no applications since its earlier identification for development.

There is clearly an ownership constraint on the development of this site and as such it cannot be considered to be developable.

Remove 50 homes from the supply.

If access to this developement is not via the A15 then where? Obthorpe Lane/ Thurlby will be over run and over congested if this development goes ahead. Plus, parents from Thurlby already use Northorpe as a rat run to join the A15 nearer to Bourne on school run mornings...i know this because it happens already. And at speed.

This is valuable agricultural land.

The access location is not suitable. High Street is a narrow road. There is poor visibility looking east where there are always parked cars resulting in single lane traffic.

The area is a valuable wildlife corridor. Hedgerows and trees will be destroyed.

It will create too much extra traffic in the village, into Bourne and on the A15.

The views from the current housing will be blocked, resulting in lower house prices.

The sewage system would not be able to cope.

The village primary school, local schools, dentist, doctors are full.

I object to the proposed 50 dwellings at Elm Farm Yard. This site extends the village into open countryside and would harm Thurlby’s rural character. Although there is a pedestrian crossing on the A15, the road remains 40mph and very busy, making pedestrian access to facilities across it unsafe, especially for children and older residents. Traffic from the site will add further pressure to already dangerous local junctions. Combined with the Obthorpe Road allocation, this level of growth would overwhelm village infrastructure: the small primary school, limited services, strained drainage, and the site’s location within a Green Infrastructure Area.

One of the villages prime attractions is the pretty walk along Obthorpe Lane towards Dole Wood.

The whole character of the area would be altered if additional housing was built on this land.

Additionally, new houses in the village would mean even more traffic onto the already busy A15 road.

The proposal Is totally inappropriate for the village of Thurlby and ignores the village plan that was approved by the residents just a few years ago. That made it clear that any future development in Thurlby would be restricted to small infilling projects. The proposed housing would put a strain on the local infrastructure: the roads would become busier, especially High Street and its junction with the A15; and the sewerage and rainwater drains which are already overloaded would not be able to cope. This development proposal should not be approved.

I write to formally object to the proposed housing allocations SKPR56 and SKPR277 in the village of Thurlby, These specific allocations, particularly SKPR56, raise serious concerns:

1. Concerns Over Consultation and Process
2. Conflict with the Thurlby Neighbourhood Plan
3. School Capacity
4. Wastewater and Drainage Concerns
5. Highway Safety and Traffic Impact
6. Heritage and Landscape Impact
7. Community Opposition and Site Suitability

Closing comments:
Given the above concerns, I urge SKDC to remove SKPR56 and SKPR277 from the Draft Local Plan. However, should the proposals be taken forward, it is imperative that:
•The layout and design of any new homes are carefully considered to respect the village’s character and heritage as well as residents’ and paddock users’ enjoyment of their private property.
•Infrastructure improvements (particularly in drainage, education, and highways) are secured and delivered before development begins.
I remain committed to working with the District Council and local stakeholders to ensure that any future development is sustainable, appropriate, and community-led. Please add me to your consultation list and ensure I am kept involved at every stage of the process should the site move forward. More consultation with the people is needed

i object to both SKPR-56 & SKPR-277, the village sewage system is not fit for purpose and cannot possibly sustain additional households .The village school is already oversubscribed and cannot accomodate the current village demographic , the result of which is additional traffic "FERRYING" pupils to outlying schools on a road infrastructure which is already at full capacity during the rush hour. there are thousands of new dwellings purpose built on Elsea park only 2 miles away in bourne .Thurlby doesnt need two new unsustainable housing estates ruining its quiet rural village status.
