Thurlby already has issues due to the number of vehicles on the road, two housing developments on patently unsuitable sites will further exacerbate this inevitably increasing accidents on the A15 junction. Additionally with very little infrastructure and services, and those in Bourne (doctors/dentists) are already significantly over subscribed. Nor does it have employment opportunities. Adding 140 houses will increase the population dramatically, irrevocably changing the character and relegating it to being a suburb of Bourne. The fact prime agricultural land is being repurposed in a time of increased geopolitical turmoil we should be aiming for more self sufficiency, not less!

Access onto the A15, during the morning and evening commute, is already very difficult because of the volume of traffic both on the A15, and joining from Thurlby. A significant increase in the number of properties in the village would make this even worse. The Anglian Water sewerage pumping station near St Firmins church has very limited capacity and unfortunately already causes sewerage flooding of adjacent gardens. Increasing the number of properties dependant on this pumping station will increase the frequency and severity of such flooding.

EN5 states that development should avoid areas at risk of flooding. There is a history of flooding within the village where runoff from the higher ground to the west is channelled onto the roads and pools in the low lying areas (such as the A15 corridor). This development appears to be in a vulnerable area.
DE1/1c states that developments should be integrated into the wider surroundings. This development would lay out of the village with it's main contribution to the surroundings being extra commuter traffic funnelled into High Street, which is already congested at peak periods.

My reasons are: this is old farmland and there are plenty of brownfield sites to develop; it would have a significant detrimental effect on local wildlife; proximity to ancient woodland; it would add to the existing drainage and flooding issues in the village; the level of traffic in the village already makes it difficult/unsafe to pull out onto the A15.

Drainage issues in the village due to a not fit for purpose sewage system.
Natural underground springs and very high water table causes flooding all through the village when there is significant rain.
What was the point of the Thurlby neighborhood plan, this was to stop building outside existing village housing lines.
Infrastructure for example doctors ,dentist the school is already at capacity,
Destruction of our rural landscape, site of scientific interest, ancient woodland is less than a mile away

In 2019 the residents voted to keep building within the existing village housing lines in the Village referendum on the Thurlby Parish Neighbourhood Plan. This means that South Kesteven District Council should use this Neighbourhood Plan to help decide planning Applications in the Thurlby Parish area and it has became part of the adopted South Kesteven District Council Local Plan. This site is outside the existing village hosing line as agreed in the Neighbourhood plan and should therefore not be allowed.

The village suffers from poor drainage which causes flooding and sewage outflows. Having more vehicles joining the A15 will cause massive problems and will end up in further accidents etc. There is need for a bypass round Thurlby, Northorpe and Bourne if more properties are to be built the A15 needs to bypass the area. More houses = more people = road chaos. There are plenty of empty properties in Elsea Park1 why build more properties? This is against the Thurlby Parish Neighbourhood plan. There is not enough infrastructure ie Doctors, Dentists etc to cope with another 136 properties.

I strongly object to this proposal as Thurlby has a Neighbourhood Plan which does not include this proposal area. It is outside of the Plan! Thurlby cannot cope with additional housing as the infrastructure is simply not in place. Currently we suffer with flooding, issues with drainage and sewerage problems too. The pipework is just not good enough. There is also a big lack of new roads to support transport and insufficient doctors surgeries, dentists and schools. Building on the farmland will destroy the village landscape and will impact heavily on wildlife.

Thurlby has poor drainage and sewage infrastructure. The village is underlain by clay soil with infrastructure (originally installed in 1961) that was not designed to support the number of properties in the village. Water cycle studies have confirmed that Thurlby is a high risk for surface water flooding, evidenced the village flooding (most recently in January 2024) and backup sewage issues.

Thurlby already suffers from a high volume traffic, with challenges with exiting the village, particularly joining the A15. The proposed development will exacerbate current traffic issues.
Thurlby is a rat run and village becomes blocked when issues with A15.

We already have significant flooding and drainage issues in the village. More houses will exacerbate the problem. These sites are outside the village housing lines as agreed in our 2019 Thurlby Parish neighbourhood plan which is part of SKDC local plan. We do not need more traffic in the village as it’s used to divert off of the A15 already in times of need. There is not enough infrastructure to cope with more housing. Rather than building more, perhaps the council ought to look at fixing what is wrong first. I.e. drainage and flooding issues.

Further housing may add to the village’s already problematic drainage, sewage and
flooding issues; the increased traffic will make pulling out onto the A15 more dangerous; there isn’t enough infrastructure to support further housing in Thurlby – where will the extra doctors, dentists, school places, hospital beds and care home beds needed because of this extra housing be? This is especially relevant now 2,500+ houses have been built at Elsea Park, Bourne; potential increased flood risk; unsuitable road access to the sites.

Access from the High Street via the Youth Hostel would entail demolition of the Building.

Access to the A15 will be by the High Street which at peak time is extremely busy, and limited sight line if attempting to turn right across the traffic. With the 2 developments planned for Thurlby, and with an average of 2 vehicles per household the additional 272 vehicles can only lead to increased danger.
Main drainage is at capacity and at times of heavy rain has in the past lead to local flooding.
Local health services are stretched at this time, and any additional housing along with the Obthorpe Lane development will only add to the overload.

Infrastructure cannot cope already - flooding, sewage and drainage are already problems.
The site has totally unsuitable road access - village lanes are not suitable for 136+ extra vehicles. Drivers, villagers, SKDC waste disposal lorries and the LCC Highways depot vehicles already have problems with the village being a shortcut - and even more so when the A15 traffic is diverted
The extra traffic will cause more danger pulling onto the busy A15, as drivers get impatient (it's already dangerous) - or it will rumble past a historic woodland site.
