The 2021 census from ONS stated that 22,084 Grantham people were working (47.8%). 4,961 travelled less than 2km to work, 3,186 travelled between 2 and 5 km to work. So 8147 people travelled to work daily within Grantham's boundary, of these 59% travelled by car. If Grantham's population grows as estimated to 19,301 that means another 5442 people would be travelling within Grantham's boundary. The town will remain grid locked at peak times, despite the Southern bypass and joining of Pennine way. Pollution levels would be double, exacerbated by the movement of timescales for implementation of all electric vehicles.

With the amount of proposed housing for Stamford this will be detrimental to the woodlands that exist on the boundaries of our town. These areas are enjoyed by residents for observing wildlife and flora also helping with peoples mental health.
You state these areas need protecting yet ultimately will be affected by your plans.

This document advocates widespread destruction of the natural landscape and needs wholesale rewriting to prevent this.

In summary, please consider endangered urban wildlife such as red-listed bird species which inhabit buildings in South Kesteven.

Therefore, please add to the policy: Swift bricks to be installed in new developments including extensions, in accordance with best practice guidance such as BS 42021 or CIEEM which require at least one swift brick per home on average for each development. Artificial nest cups for house martins may be proposed instead of swift bricks where recommended by an ecologist.

Reason: these are excluded from Biodiversity Net Gain so need their own clear policy, as supported by NPPG.

Please add to the policy: Existing nest sites for building-dependent species such as swifts and house martins should be protected, as these endangered red-listed species which are present but declining in South Kesteven return annually to traditional nest sites. Mitigation should be provided if these nest sites cannot be protected.

Reason: these are excluded from Biodiversity Net Gain so need their own clear policy.

In response to Paragraph 10.1 under the Landscape Character heading, Oakdale Farm is not subject to any statutory landscape designations. The land falls partly within the Trent and Belvoir Vale and partly within the Grantham Scarps and Valleys Landscape Character Area2. We do however question if reliance on the 2007 document remains relevant as evidence base, given that the consented solar farm development has and will have an impact on the landscape. The consented solar farm will have a lasting impact on the landscape character around land at Oakdale Farm, introducing an urbanising effect with the future solar proposal effectively ‘wrapping around’ the proposed allocated site.
