Strongly objects to the proposed mixed employment and residential allocation of this site. Whilst an element of employment use is now proposed on this site, concerns are expressed that the draft Plan does not adequately provide for employment needs in the district, and in particular, in Stamford.
There are significant concerns that insufficient employment land is being allocated within Stamford, and site SKPR-266 should be allocated entirely for employment uses.

SKPR-288 – Land east of Ryhall Road

Concerns that only one proposed employment allocation was proposed in Stamford for employment generating uses – land east of Ryhall Road (ref. SKPR-288).
Concerns remain that this is not an accessible site without third party land and questions remain as to its deliverability.

The main findings conclude that the “site has been modified to reflect the approval of retail application S20/0955 but allocation size remains the same”. It is unclear what this means as application S20/0955 relates specifically to land further south of this site. Further clarification is therefore required.

In our previous Reg 18 representations, we raised concerns that only one proposed employment allocation was proposed in Stamford for employment generating uses – land east of Ryhall Road (ref. SKPR-288).

Previously raised concerns that like Exeter Fields, this site is bound by residential allocations (now developed) to its northern and southern boundaries with no means of access proposed through either of those estates.

Concerns that this is not an accessible site without third party land and questions remain as to its deliverability.

The main findings of the Draft Site Assessment Report (July 2025) conclude that the “site has been modified to reflect the approval of retail application S20/0955 but allocation size remains the same”. It is unclear what this means as application S20/0955 relates specifically to land further south of this site. Further clarification is therefore required.

SKPR-266 should be allocated entirely for employment uses.

Significant concerns about the provision of employment uses on this Site, particularly with an unjustified or clear evidence base to de-allocate the site for employment uses and lack of evidence to justify why only 5 hectares is appropriate and little support by way of the policy wording as to what uses would be deemed acceptable.
As presented, the amended policy wording continues to misalign with the overall strategy.
