We support the Draft Plan in recognising and addressing the locational requirements strategic employment operators have and planning accordingly to meet that market demand in suitably accessible locations across the District.

The Regulation 18 Local Plan had allocated significantly more land than the specified requirements outlined in the Employment Land Study. However, the supportive text of Policy E2 recognises the proposed sites for allocation allow for a suitable amount of choice in the market for employment use, such as through the provision of employment land at Gonerby Moor, which benefits from the existing nearby employment as well as from the access to the A1.

Welcome the allocation of land at Oakdale, Gonerby Moor, Grantham for 80ha of employment land, under reference SKPR-182. The land at Gonerby Moor is strategic in scale and we consider specific policies should be provided to acknowledge the strategic role of the site and how development should be phased, and infrastructure facilitated.

Criteria C of the policy could come into question and could end up stifling delivery of the allocations if there is a cumulative impact on the local and/or strategic highway network.
Given the above comments in our view, an additional policy should be introduced to the LP Review which deals with phasing of the Gonerby Moor allocations. This would continue to fully support the growth ambitions of the District, and in fact would better aid in reaching its potential, to ensure that each site is genuinely deliverable, albeit in a considered phased manner.

We would also recommend a site-specific policy for land at Oakdale Farm (SKPR-182). In terms of phasing, Mulberry Land recommend land at Oakdale Farm should be considered at the soonest opportunity for delivery, ahead of allocations SKPR-202 and SKPR-100.

Site SKPR288 should be reallocated from employment to residential development. It is highly unlikely that the site will come forward for employment purposes in the plan period and the Employment Land Study (2023) does not provide any robust evidence to suggest otherwise.

Support the overall economic ambition of the proposed Local Plan through the extent of the quantum of land that SKDC seeks to allocate for employment development.

OBJECTION to Policy E2 on the basis of the distribution of the allocation of employment sites. The objection relates to the decision to allocate 172.7ha of greenfield land at Gonerby Moor (SKPR-202, SKPR-100, SKPR-182). This is unjustified by evidence and the Gonerby Moor allocations perform poorly in respect of opportunities to connect to sustainable travel due to their remote location from Grantham town centre and the existing settlement.
