Amendments to the policy to remove the elements relating to Rural Exception into New Policy 1 are welcomed as this would ensure additional clarity about growth on the edge of settlement for different housing types.

The term ‘substantial support’ is ambiguous and the inclusion of criteria that requires the support of third parties could place an undue burden on schemes which are otherwise compliant with the other criteria of the policy. those settlements identified as suitable locations for growth, especially in Grantham at the top of the settlement hierarchy, this policy requirement seems to be unnecessarily restrictive. Concerned that this restrictive approach to development on the edge of settlements may have an adverse impact on the delivery of housing in these areas.

New Policy 4 is welcomed to ensure that there is a clear approach to Biodiversity New Gain (BNG) in accordance with the requirements of the Environment Act 2021. Setting the policy at the requirement for a 10% post development biodiversity value to exceed the predevelopment value of the onsite habitat by a 10% net gain is considered to be a suitable application of the legislation.
