Respondent: Colsterworth & District Parish

Comments:
-It is worth noting that housing on a smaller scale was rejected previously.
-Potentially more suitable location (SKPR-237)- land not available
-Increase from 70 to 310. This also means that the number of households in Colsterworth would increase by 42%
-Impact of the increased allocation in neighbouring Parishes -provides a justification for developers to fund a new primary school and potentially a secondary school

Emerging issues
-Weston Marsh to East Leicestershire electricity connector, Kilnside Energy Park and Mallard, Pass Solar Farm in neighbouring Parishes, the potential appeal regarding the ADP at Gunby and the Local

Other:
-Welcome the suggestion of a “Master Plan”
-Expect this plan to consider the Future Homes Standard, BNG, Accessibility Rules and EV charging that Developers must fulfil
