The proposed major housing developments at Stamford North and Quarry Farm will increase the already high level of traffic and pollution to unacceptable levels. The roads leading into the centre of town cannot cope with traffic as it currently stands, particularly at peak periods. All the supermarkets are at the same end of town which creates traffic issues, particularly on Saturdays when families tend to do their major shop.

The existing housing estates already suffer from heavy traffic flow, particularly those near shops (Sutherland Way, for example)

The northern area of Grantham already has an air pollution study zone due to high levels of NO2. The only routes available in to the town are via this pollution zone.

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

Persimmon Homes are of the view that developments should not have to improve any existing harmful impacts.

We support the requirement that development should be designed from the outset to improve air, land and water quality and promote environmental benefits.

We suggest strengthening this policy by adding the words "and maximising the use of nature-based solutions".

DWH object to policy EN4 and consider it be rephrased to state: ‘Where practical and viable development should seek to minimise pollution…’ This amending wording is in accordance with the NPPF paragraph 16 (b) which states ‘plans should be prepared positively, in a way that is aspirational but deliverable’.

Response to EN4: Pollution Control reference SKPR-57

Site allocation SKPR-57 will considerably add to air pollution in Grantham. This is undeniable. Due to the nature of the northern area of Grantham the ability to build roads to ensure less congestion is questionable. Gonerby Hill Foot, in particular, resides within two converging railway lines. It is this “triangle” which provides little opportunity for traffic or pedestrians to use anything other than two main routes (one North and one South). This development will add much more traffic to the roads and further remove the local population’s ability to enjoy a green open space.

There is no doubt that the Grantham road network along North Parade and Brook Street will be impacted with increased pollution. The local Senior school for example has no more capacity, which raises the question of where the pupils will have to travel for school from within the area.

The King’s school has setup an air pollution monitoring station due to the dangerous levels of NO2 circulating round this area of the town.
