Representations relate to Land at South of Harrowby Lane Grantham (SKPR-269, SKPR-82 and SKPR-312). The site is capable of delivering a mix of uses, including a local centre, new primary school and up to 2,880 homes. There is also an opportunity to deliver a smaller scale of development of 400 homes in the short term as a standalone development.

As currently set out, it is not clear that reasonable alternatives have been considered or that a preferred development strategy has informed the site selection process appropriately.

There are no reasons why this site cannot be allocated and cannot contribute to the development strategy of the adopted Local Plan for the district. It’s exclusion from consideration as allocation is not clearly justified and fails to take account of the changes to the context of the site that will occur or the opportunities available here for walking, cycling and public transport.

Plan period - Considers that the Plan period should be extended to at least 2045 in order that plan can be positively prepared and is supported by necessary evidence to justify the policies within the Plan.

Buffer – considers the Local Plan to include a 20%: as set out in the adopted plan, previous consultation and as set out by The Local Plans Expert Group report.

Settlement Hierarchy Review – The proposed hierarchy in Chapter 4 of the consultation Local Plan is unjustified and not sound. Grantham should be shown at the top of the hierarchy and it is clear that it performs a different and more important role and function than any other settlement in the district.
