I need much more information before I can make an informed decision - e.g. will this mean loss of car parking near the station? Will the Old School site be demolished along with other properties?

Only acceptable if a true brownfield store, else should not happen.

It's a "railway station" not a "train station".

Whilst comments are offered on some areas of allocation policy wording. The National Trust is currently neither for nor against these specific proposed allocations in principle. The requirement for a comprehensive masterplan and consideration of heritage assets is noted.
Given the possibility for buildings of height, including a multistorey car park, further guidance around height parameters and location within the site could be included to help mitigate harm to proximate heritage assets. The position of Grantham House is also considered here

More detail is required in criteria C of the policy. There are Grade II Listed buildings within the northern section of the site together with evidence of previous archaeological finds – a heritage assessment, including archaeological assessment will be required. 507012 – the railway station on the London and York Railway opened in 1850. Historic England would be happy to assist with wording.

We would reiterate the importance of establishing a connected network of high quality green infrastructure at the earliest stage of the planning process.

We cannot see an up to date rationale for the Mixed Use allocation at Grantham Station. We are aware of an old feasibility study and consider it would be helpful to know this is updated and publicly shared. We do not consider it practical for parts of the extensive car parks to have employment uses on part, nor it affordable to build two storey car parks. We do not see the vision for an area of recently resurfaced car park being a place travellers will wish to dwell. We see investment better directed to enhanced footpath and cycle routes, with landscaping, to get people easily and safely towards the High Street and Westgate. The only proposal that may make sense is a modern office building, but we know there have been previous false starts seeking to move the tyre and building merchant operators.

- Development of, or exceeding, 91.4m in height above ground level will trigger statutory consultation requirement,
- Development that might result in the creation of attractant environments for large and flocking bird species hazardous to aviation, including the potential for an environment attractive to hazardous bird species to be formed temporarily.
