The proposed Stamford North 'Sustainable' Urban Extension is far from it. Statutory consultees have already said that current infrastructure does not have capacity for this development. Improving access to the A1 is not feasible without significant redevelopment of the junctions, which is not practical within the available footprint. The only doctors facilities in Stamford continue to be assessed as "Requires Improvement" by the Care Quality Commission, yet the proposed healthcare provision within this development is not guaranteed. Secondary schools are already at capacity. This whole development needs to be reduced to a more SUSTAINABLE size for Stamford.

Stamford with it’s medieval structure does not have the infrastructure to support this huge development in North of Stamford. There are not currently suitable roads, schools, health and education support for our community, let alone for another 6,000 people. It also requires the development of Quarry Farm, a candidate wildlife site - a dark green site, where wildlife should be protected. Originally Stamford north was 1300 houses - now 1350 by removing the bund (which protects residents from noise pollution from Sports centre). In future residents near the Sports centre will be disturbed by noise, affecting mental and physical health.

This site contains sports facilities which would either need to be retained or replaced as part of any redevelopment proposal. The retention of the sports facility may impact on the number of dwellings that could be constructed at the site.

i) - There is a need for the development to provide new sports facilities and playing fields within the site which should be informed by the production of a Sports Feasibility Report. This report will establish the level and nature of on-site and off-site provision required. This report would be informed by the Playing Pitch Strategy.

As South Kesteven District will soon have an up-to-date Playing Pitch Strategy the Council can also use Sport England’s Playing Pitch Calculator and Sport England’s Sports Facility Calculator to calculate off-site contributions into sport and recreation because of the additional population generated by this proposed site.

Your Local Plan provides for 1350 houses in Stamford North (H1 refers) but doesn’t show anywhere that medical facilities and secondary education facilities would be guaranteed to be scaled up in the town to meet this large increase in population. Add to that the huge traffic congestion problems already in the town through lack of parking facilities, and the rush hour log jams as commuting workers try to join the A1, and this plan is a disaster for the town. I object most strongly to the plan.

Please refer to our detailed previous advice on this cross authority site, both on previous Local Plan responses and the subsequent planning applications. Historic England have had detailed involvement on this site and have objected to the scheme in the Rutland Local Plan.
Historic England’s objection is to the site to the west within Rutland’s authority area. Historic England commented:- “The proposal should reflect the previous negotiations and the setting of the two SM’s as negotiated through 2022/0227/MAO and in previous SPD consultations prior to that. The development will be harmful to the setting of the scheduled monument at Great Casterton (reference 1005067). 1005067 is a Roman town and fort, located on a crossroads and on the river valley. Control over landscape, including the views across and over the river valley – are part of the form, function and placement of this site. 1005031 Ermine Street is the second scheduled monument to the south of the site.”

Stamford and quarry farm developments are too large on areas of rural countryside using farmland and protected sites. There is a need for housing but the biggest issue I have is that there isn’t sufficient infrastructure to support the number of houses as I’ve been proposed to be built , for many years we had problems with our Doctors Surgery and as a result of this There are large waiting list to get appointments for the doctors and huge amounts of frustration. Any further infrastructure being built has to be commensurate with the number of houses being proposed. Addition of so many houses will also impact the current transport structure for the town. At many points of the day traffic is so heavy but the roads are clogged. This is particularly Apparently when schools are starting and finishing each day. I think South Steven district Council needs to have a rethink on providing a better infrastructure plan before accepting any further applications or housing development in this area strongly to further housing infrastructure is adequately in place.

Welcome and support SKPR-281 (STM1-H1) Stamford North for an indicative 1,350 units. Also support the development principles set out in the allocation including the additional principles relating to Biodiversity Opportunity Areas and Green Infrastructure Areas.
Outline application S23/0055 for the site also includes land around and to the south of the Borderville Centre. The inclusion of this land would not be contrary to the aims of the local Plan. SKP-281 should therefore relate to the whole of the areas included as part of the application S23/0055.

Site allocation SKPR-281 (Stamford North) is in Flood Zone 2 and 3. The indicative number of units for this housing allocation is 1350. We expect that some of these houses would be located within Flood Zone 2. We would not support site allocation SKPR-281 without further evidence to demonstrate that properties would be sequentially located and that climate change allowances would be considered for any development that comes forward as a result of the allocation.

Natural England would wish to ensure a co-ordinated approach to the provision of Green Infrastructure across the District boundary to the Rutland Local Plan allocation at Quarry Farm (policy H2).

For the proposed residential allocations within Stamford we would reiterate the importance of establishing a connected network of high quality green infrastructure at the earliest stage of the planning process.
We also advise that for residential developments surrounding Stamford may require an assessment of recreational pressure if it falls within the Impact Risk Zone (IRZ) for Cambridgeshire SSSIs. This may be relevant to the Barnack Hill & Holes SAC and measures to mitigate any adverse impacts e.g. alternative open space provision may be required.

The removal of the acoustic bund would increase noise and pollution and affect wildlife.
New roads would increase traffic and existing roads require improvements. There is too much of the agricultural land and green site being used by developers for building on, they need to look at old brown sites first.
Proposed homes will not be for local people, but family from other areas commuting to other towns and cities making more pollution. The acoustic bund should NOT BE REMOVED to fit up to 50 NEW HOUSES on and NEW ROAD when the road could go a long north of the Stamford North site by Borderville Farm as there is planning for a Tier 2 in the future?. I have heard that the building of STAMFORD NORTH is programmed for TEN YEARS to complete. How would you like to live next to this and all the pollution, noise and increased traffic with building this site.

The acoustic bund by the Borderville Sports Centre should not be demolished as it protects a large number of houses from noise and light pollution. These proposed houses will be exposed the noise and light seven days a week and this can’t be promoting good health and well-being in the community.

The link road should not be located on the southern side of the site and close to existing properties as this is contrary to the SKDC Local Plan that originally had the link road to the northern boundary of the site.

Stamford town centre, as well as roads in and out of the town, already suffer with congestion at busy times of the day and the huge increase in traffic that this development would bring would cause gridlock for current residents.

There would be a huge impact on wildlife and nature with the devastation of established biodiversity and habitats, particularly those provided by the acoustic bund where deer, pheasants, foxes, badgers, hedgehogs, sparrowhawks and red kites, to name but some, are found.

It is beyond belief that it could be considered acceptable to replace the BUND with housing. Those people buying the housing, albeit possible 'affordable housing' should be subjected to the sound and light pollution when the BUND was a condition of the development of the Zeeco stadium. The current infrastructure in Stamford for flooding, drainage and water supplies is not good and cannot sustain more housing without considerable investment and development and new systems to accommodate further housing. There are already issues with the build up to traffic. The proposed new link road will place unsustainable strains on the existing roads to the North of Stamford. Any additional housing and roads on Quarry Farm will negatively impact the flora and fauna of the site. There are mature native trees which need to be protected and wild life which cannot be re-located or protected if the planned housing is allowed to progress. This new housing development will negatively impact the already strained local NHS facilities and schools within Stamford.

The site allocation Stamford North (SKPR-281 (STM1-H1)) and/or associated safeguarding policies should also seek to clarify requirements for the delivery of new education infrastructure, including when it should be delivered to support housing growth, the minimum site area required, any preferred site characteristics, and any requirements for safeguarding additional land for future expansion where need and demand indicates this might be necessary. Establishing these requirements within the plan is particularly important for securing sites at an appropriate value when additional land or standalone sites for schools need to be purchased, as DfE ‘Basic Need’ funding allocations do not factor in the costs of site acquisition.

Stamford does not require the development (or any further developments) to meet housing allocation. It is Rutland that needs to meet it’s allocation.
Stamford has had it's fair share of developments which have already put extra strain on existing facilities and it is already proven that it cannot cope.
There are serious concerns by residents as to the impact this will have on our quality of life, not only in the short term but stretching into years to come. Residents have a right to enjoy their quality of life in homes that they have worked hard to financially invest in and have lived in for decades and noone should be denying this right.
Stamford needs affordable housing not the type of developments that excludes our own residents.

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)
