Regulation 18 Draft Local Plan
Existing and Proposed Housing Supply
Representation ID: 2578

Response to 7.3: Existing and Proposed Housing Supply reference SKPR-57
The housing allocations do not take in to consideration delays to existing planned estates. Grantham is in danger of having too many developments occurring at the same time across the north of the town. We are potentially looking at FOUR major development sites at the same time across a TWO MILE distance. Over 3,500 new homes in such a small area.

Response to EN1: Landscape Character: reference SKPR-57
The site allocation SKPR-57 is NOT appropriate to the character and historic/cultural attributes of Belton House NT and the Belmount Tower.The approach to Belton House NT for the majority of visitors will involve drving past site SKPR-57. At present the view is of rolling fields and gives the impression of a rural property set in a rural surround. If this is developed it will go against the heritage feel of the property.

Response to 10.4: reference SKPR-57
SKPR-57 is a much-valued landscape by many enerations of Granthamians.
SKPR-57 will contribute to unacceptable air pollution in the north of Grantham due to adding many thousands more people to already congested roads. Grantham is already under and air quality monitoring programme for this exact reason.

Response to 10.15 to 10.19: Green Infrastructure reference SKPR-57
Our site as a green open space for the community offers physical health, mental health, enhanced emotional wellbeing and clean air benefits to our community. The proposed development will leave this area of Grantham with no easily accessible green open space but instead will create a pollution issue, increase poor mental health and large increase in traffic with residents seeking places to walk their dogs.
There is also a social issue here. The residents who cannot afford to play golf or a National Trust membership will have a vastly reduced option as to where to walk for
mental and physical health benefits. It is vital this last refuge of green open space is available for public use.

Pollution Control

Response to 10.20 to 10.24: Pollution Control reference SKPR-57
During construction this area will have a 440 home development directly to the East, and over 2,500 to the West. This will continue for at least a decade. Adding to this another 628 house development will plunge the residents of north Grantham into a decade long development pollution. Not just in the air but from construction noise, vehicles and the inevitable works required for services, drainage, waste and so on.

Response to EN4: Pollution Control reference SKPR-57
Site allocation SKPR-57 will considerably add to air pollution in Grantham. This is undeniable. Due to the nature of the northern area of Grantham the ability to build roads to ensure less congestion is questionable. Gonerby Hill Foot, in particular, resides within two converging railway lines. It is this “triangle” which provides little opportunity for traffic or pedestrians to use anything other than two main routes (one North and one South). This development will add much more traffic to the roads and further remove the local population’s ability to enjoy a green open space.
There is no doubt that the Grantham road network along North Parade and Brook Street will be impacted with increased pollution. The local Senior school for example has no more capacity, which raises the question of where the pupils will have to travel for school from within the area.
The King’s school has setup an air pollution monitoring station due to the dangerous levels of NO2 circulating round this area of the town.

Response to 10.43 and 10.44 The Historic Environment. reference SKPR-57
The main approach to Belton House NT estate is via the Belton Lane road which already has a 440 home development being built along it. To add this further development (which runs alongside the road) will damage the rural feel to the approach to the historic Belton House estate. Instead of a rural environment the visitor will feel the grounds are encroached by modern housing. A damaging feel for this historic site.
SKPR-57 is visible from both Belton House NT and the Belmount Tower. It lies above the 60m protection contour and should, therefore, be rejected.
The approved development of 440 new homes, to the East of our proposed site, is set way back from Belton Lane. No consideration or mitigation has been given by the planning team regarding SKPR-57’s vicinity to Belton Lane.

Considering there are other sites away from the BeltonHouse NT estate that could be used I see no reason this development should be allowed so close to this leading NT Grade 1 listed national treasure.

Site allocation SKPR-57 is an accessible, good quality open space which makes a significant quality of life contribution to hundreds of residents of South Kesteven. The health benefits to the residents and their pets is high. This was particularly apparent during the recent lockdown. Without this area the residents will have to drive to access green open space.
