'... to ensure that Grantham fulfils its ambition to be a leading sub-regional centre offering high quality retail, leisure, residential and employment opportunities...'. If this is the case - why are there so many empty shops, run down commercial properties that are an eyesore and a greatly diminished market?

Concerns about proposal to build new houses in Grantham and believes significant drawbacks to developing within the town itself. Concerns regarding Infrastructure Strain, Green Space Loss, Traffic Congestion, Impact on Character. Possible alternatives before moving forward with development consider Brownfield development, urban regeneration and exploring development in peripheral areas. A thorough examination of all options is crucial before making a decision that could significantly impact Grantham’s future.

We support the density being sought in and around the Grantham Sub-Regional Centre and agree that by targeting growth.
Consider Spitalgate Heath mixed-use development to be over ambitious given the size and layout of the land. Considers further works need to be undertaken to understand the suitability of employment provision at this location and is the rational for allocating this site given the potential issues in respect of suitability and deliverability. We also consider the timescale for the Spitalgate Heath Garden Village to be unrealistic due to the delays faced by the Grantham Southern Relief Road.
Therefore, to successfully continue to support Grantham’s economy, and in turn the wider District economy it is crucial further employment sites in the area come forward which are available, deliverable and achievable, and have been properly assessed for employment purposes as per the most up to date evidence. We consider our Client’s site at Land South of Gonerby Lane, Gonerby Moor (SKPR-100) to be able to provide the necessary strategic employment provision within the sub-regional centre which is required in order to sustain the economic prosperity in the Grantham Sub-Regional Centre.

It is not fair, our wildlife needs protecting, dogs and dog walkers need this space. It's good for the soul. More housing will cause more pollution, more traffic, when already an issue. We Don't need this. We want our green space. Good for the locals and the environment. I object!
