Draft Policy SD1 is supported which states that ‘development proposals in South Kesteven will be expected to mitigate against the impacts of climate change and contribute towards creating a strong, stable and more diverse economy’ and includes various criteria that ‘development proposals shall consider how they can proactively minimise’. It is considered that the policy wording used accords with paragraph 35 (d) of the National Planning Policy Framework (‘NPPF’) which states that ‘plans are ‘sound’ if they are: Consistent with national policy – enabling the delivery of sustainable development in accordance with the policies in this Framework and other statements of national planning policy, where relevant’.

TCE supports the proposed Spatial Strategy and the allocation of the Site SKPR-61 and SKPR-103. The proposed allocation of TCE’s land accords with the objectives of the Spatial Strategy for Larger Villages, like Billingborough, to meet its future housing needs as well as the District. The policy states that ‘development should provide a scale and mix of housing types to meet the identified need for South Kesteven (as informed by the Local Housing Needs Assessment)’. Although the LHNA plays a very important role in calculating the potential local housing need, this is District wide. The policy should be broadened out so that reference is also be made to the proposed mix of housing being determined by the local market conditions and demand at the time of a planning application. This will ensure that the policy is underpinned by both up-to-date LHNA evidence and local market signals (NPPF Paragraph 31).

TCE supports Billingborough being identified as a Larger Village. Paragraph 8.4 of the draft plan states that ‘the Larger Villages are the most sustainable villages in the District and as such they will be the focus for development outside of Grantham, Stamford, Bourne and the Deepings’. We support housing growth being directed to Billingborough which is also identified in the Council’s evidence base as being the most sustainable Larger Village in the District (Settlement Hierarchy Review February 2024).
TCE are supportive of the proposed allocation of Site SKPR-61 and SKPR-103. The submitted Transport and Highways Technical Note (Table 4.1) by TTC demonstrates that the Site is within a 10 minute walking distance (less than 800m) to a range of shops, services and facilities within the Billingborough. It is therefore considered that the Site is in a sustainable and accessible location adjacent to the most sustainable Larger Village in the District.

Policy SP4 states that ‘proposals for new residential development… will be supported provided that the essential criteria a-d are met. The proposal must a. demonstrate clear evidence of substantial support from the local community’. The NPPF outlines the importance of pre-submission engagement with the community (paragraphs 39-46). TCE proposals will be carefully curated with the community and local stakeholders through pre-submission engagement to ensure excellent integration of new homes with the existing highways and green infrastructure to maintain the area’s local and historic character and livability. TCE will work with SKDC and Billingborough Parish Council to develop a community consultation and engagement strategy for any future application on Site SKPR-103.
