The brackets for the Westcotec Speed Indicator Device have arrived.  Councillors previously suggested it be placed along Spalding Road/Horsegate.  The LRSP are being consulted.


The Assistant Clerk has contacted the Department for Transport (DfT), to find out about getting hold of small animal signage to place along Horsegate, making traffic aware of small animals such as hedgehogs on the roads.  The DfT have responded advising contacting the contact local authority.  Lincolnshire County Council have been contacted and we are awaiting a response.


The Parish Council received a Consultation: A Design Code for South Kesteven, from SKDC.  This has a short deadline of 31 October 24 and it asks Parish Councils to advertise on noticeboards and social media– which was done.


Councillors have been invited to an SKDC Design Code Workshop to be held on either 21 November at Grantham or 27th November in Bourne.  Councillors are to advise the Assistant Clerk if and where they wish to attend by the 14th November 24.
Please see appendix 3 - below.


Actions from Full Council 
Application No: S24/1133
Notification of additional information received.
Proposal: Proposed change of use of land to form sports ground, car park, 2(no.) access
points from cross road and erection of toilet block.
Location: Land West of Cross Road, , Deeping St James, PE6 8LQ, ,
Application Type Full Planning Permission
Deadline 16 Oct 24 – Kevin Cartwright
Deeping St James Parish Council continue to support this development in principle. Our previous support for application S22/2405 may be referred to, saving repetition here.

The Deepings do need this new facility. We are aware that a large number of teams are affiliated to the Club, which offers a wide range of benefits to the community. As also noted by others , if the Planning Department identifies any challenges for the applicant, we would hope that all effort would be made to creatively overcome any problems.

On the matter of improving footpath access, we note that this road is a cul de sac with agricultural accesses only. Consequently, we specifically suggest that access along Cross Road is acceptable, as it is safe in traffic terms. 

It does not have through traffic and, to deter anti-social behaviour such as tipping, may become gated again (as it once was). This is subject to work being carried out by LCC.

58.25 Appendix 3 - Parish Council, Neighbourhood Plan Group and Local Stakeholder Workshops

South Kesteven District Council would like to invite you to take part in a workshop where you will be able to help influence the future of the District through the way that new development is designed.  

We would very much like to hear your views on a number of issues at one of these in-person evening events.

These workshops follow on from the interactive map online engagement that is running for an extended period until 4th November (see further information below).

 

The workshops will explore issues in an informal setting and are likely to follow the rough format below:

1. Provide information about design codes generally but also the SKDC design code project;

2. Listen to your views and opinions;

o Break up into discussion groups;

o Discover what has worked and what hasn’t with new developments;

o Discover what your favourite and least favourite places are in your communities and why?  

o Gauge preferences for issues such as building design, parking and green spaces;

o Travel - How would you like to get around on a daily basis?

 

Workshop Information

There will be two in-person workshops to choose from (to cover the whole District):

North:  Grantham -21st November – 5:30pm to 8pm - SK House, St Peter’s Hill, NG31 6PY (adjacent to The Grantham Museum).  

South:  Bourne - 27th November – 5:30pm to 8pm - The Corn Exchange, 3 Abbey Rd, Bourne, PE10 9EF.

 

An agenda and further information will be sent out nearer the time to those who have confirmed attendance.

We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at one of the workshops.

 

Further information on the project is below.  

Further information 

Our Project - South Kesteven Design Code

South Kesteven District Council, working with Create Streets, is producing a Design Code for the District to set standards for how buildings, streets and public spaces should look, feel and function.   

 

More information here.

The Code will go through multiple stages of public engagement and we started off by asking what your favourite and least favourite places and buildings were, and if they were appropriate examples for new development in the years to come. 

This is hosted on the Create Communities platform, an online map survey and this is now live for an extended period until 4th November.

To participate, please visit https://communities.createstreets.com/southkesteven to share your views on a selection of buildings, places and streets and you can also click anywhere within the District to share your views on a place of your choosing.

60.25 App 5, 6 & 7 - Email to Deeping St James Parish Council re street naming of bungalows off Stephens Way.

Subject: New bungalows
Dear Sir/madam
I am in the process of creating postal address for our new bungalows (6) off Stephens Way, Deeping St James and cant use prefixes to the existing bungalows that the access way is situated so, in conjunction with the street naming department at SKDC have suggested that the naming and numbering are 1 - 6 Spire View
A post code etc will be allocated to the approved addresses
I have attached a drawing of the site layout for your attention
I would be grateful if you could email me with you approval of this as soon as possible

Please contact Deeping St James Parish Council for copies of maps on 01778 343266.


61.25 - App 8 & 9 New electricity cables under land at Jubilee Park.

Email received from the Wayleaves Specialist from the National Grid dated 5th November 2024.

Good afternoon, 

I hope you are well. 

I was hoping to have a conversation with you about obtaining two wayleaves from yourselves for new underground cables in the Market Deeping area. SKDC pointed me in your direction as they informed me they recently sold the land to you. 

The first location is across land to the south of Thackers way  what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location 

The second is across land to the south of lady Margaret’s avenue what3words /// The simplest way to talk about location

These cables are part of a wider reinforcement scheme in Market Deeping to support the increased demand in the area, we have chosen these routes to minimise disruption on the roads where possible. 

I would very much appreciate if you could review our proposals and let me know your thoughts on the matter. 

Please let me know If you require any further information or if you would like a site visit to discuss the matter further I would be happy to set one up. 

Many thanks, 

Wayleaves Specialist
