Support the approach put forward by the Council and consider this to be consistent with national policy however we consider the following recommendations which have been detailed above would assist in aiding the plan to be capable of being found sound when examined by a Planning Inspector. We consider the Council need undertake further work in relation to the housing trajectory and support additional sites to meet housing needs due to the potential delay of some of the proposed allocations.
Plan period - Recommends the start date is amended to 2024 and to reflect this the end date 2044, in line with the proposed set 20 year period defined by the Council.
Buffer - The Council should still ensure contingency is provided in the event of under delivery and a 20% buffer should be retained.

We do not consider that the allocation of the Prince William of Gloucester Barracks will be deliverable in its current form. To ensure the trajectory is accurate and does not result in under delivery once adopted, the trajectory should be drafted to reflect this build out rate. This amendment would result in delivery of only 1,350 dwellings being delivered across the whole strategic allocation within the plan period if the site is considered suitable to remain as a housing allocation and the MoD vacate the site as currently set in 2028.

Although we do consider the GSRR will eventually come forward and the site will deliver housing, we do not believe the current proposed trajectory of 1,512 homes within the plan period is realistic or reflects the recent amendment made to the description of development. Therefore, we consider this site should be pushed back and further housing allocations brought forward in order to address short term growth needs.

Do not consider the site is deliverable in its current form and the housing trajectory should be amended to reflect the realistic delivery rate on site and further sites brought forward to meet short-term needs.

This site is available, suitable and deliverable within an early part of the plan period. Our client has received market interest from volume housebuilders on the site and the landowner is committed to bringing forward an outline planning application immediately after adoption of the plan.
Our client is fully supportive of the proposed allocation of the site for residential purposes. The settlement of Corby Glen is an ideal location for future growth due to the presence of several facilities and services in addition to its central location with access to Grantham, Stamford, Bourne and the wider area.
It is important to note that the previous commentary in relation to the site and the Vision Document produced was undertaken prior to the additional SKPR-233 Land fronting Bourne Road and Swinstead Road being proposed as an additional allocation by the Council. The proposed allocation of both sites within Corby Glen further reinforces the logical and sustainable location of the settlement for future housing growth and to assist in meeting the housing needs of the South Kesteven District. Both sites (SKPR-247 and SKPR-233) are located to the east/south-east of the settlement which supports the expansion of the settlement in this direction and reinforces the logical nature of our client’s site with this being in line with the existing built form of the settlement and being contained by robust boundaries in the form of woodland to the east and an existing footpath to the north.
