The planned period is to long. The NPPF will change (one of the districts excuses for taking so long to get to this place in its update due stated changes in the NPPF, even though an inspector's approval was based on there has to be an early review of the current LPA)The NPPF will change due to political pressure of too many people in this country and might even be scrapped completely.

The plan period is unambitious in looking to the bare minimum period of 15 years from adoption (2036) and includes no allowance for slippage. the period should be extended to 2046.

I cannot support any ‘plan’ that advocates widespread destruction of the local countryside.

The Regulation 18 consultation document highlights in paragraph 2.1 that the plan period for the emerging Local Plan will run from 1st April 2021 through to 1st April 2041. It is positive to see that the Council are seeking to plan for the longer period and preparing a document which covers 20 years. We are however concerned that upon adoption the Council may feel to meet the minimum requirements as outlined in paragraph 22 of the NPPF (2023).

Paragraph 22 of the NPPF requires “strategic policies should look ahead over a minimum 15 year period from adoption” and in our view the emerging SKDC Local Plan will not meet this. In order to provide a minimum 15 year period from adoption the plan will need to be adopted by 31st March 2026 at the very latest in order to provide the required time period. However, as the Local Plan has already experienced delays, it is reasonable to assume that further delays in timescales will be encountered.

By taking a positive and proactive approach to delivering to the plan period, the Council is able to ensure that the plan is robust and credible with the opportunity to deliver more housing across South Kesteven to meet local needs. We encourage the Council to extend the plan period by at least another two years to a time horizon of 2043 which will allow for any further delays in plan making whilst still ensuring that the minimum time period can be achieved

Extending the plan period, also allows further years of development and growth to take place and therefore provides a greater buffer in terms of housing numbers (potentially an additional 1,400 units when using the housing target in the plan) thus giving the local communities greater choice and flexibility for housing and employment options.

Chapter 2, and the wider draft Local Plan does not go far enough to address the identified need for targeted specialist or extra-care housing provision. Paragraph 2.7 and 2.8 need to include a separate housing target for specialist housing for older people (or extra-case housing), given the substantial need set out in Table 1. This significant need is reflected in the Council’s Local Housing Needs Assessment (Sept 2023), albeit we consider that this need is still underestimated and based on a flawed methodology.
