Proposed Development - Land off Peakirk Road Glinton 24/00483/OUT
Gladman have put in an outline Planning Application to build 250 new houses between the edge of Glinton and Foxcovert Road.
Deeping St James Parish Council are not commenting on this planning application on this occasion due to its distance from the parish.
130.24 To receive an update regarding the Deepings Neighbourhood Plan (DNP).
Cllr Smith updated the Cllrs on different topics offering more in-depth information should they request it.
The Deepings Neighbourhood Plan Team covered topics such as the development of a project by the consultants Aecom, using information from 2011-2021, to look at local housing needs.
The first document for the design code for Linchfield Road is now approximately 95% completed and hopes are to put it out to public consultation after some discussion with council and land owner. There is interest in including a community hub as a space for people to gather, whether a centre or an open space which could be useful for events, with direct roads to places such as supermarkets and the health centre to encourage a friendly neighbourhood. Councillors asked that consideration be given for public conveniences.
A design code draft for the town as a whole has yet to be considered. Cllrs would like the code to reflect more of our Georgian heritage rather than the more recent builds and move away from cul-de-sacs.
The Deepings Neighbourhood Plan are awaiting outcome confirmation regarding three bids (LCWIP, Waymarking project and Jubilee Park), for the UK Prosperity Fund, which are expected at any time.
Deepings Fun Day Sunday is to be held on 7th July 2024, there is space for some exhibitions. Cllrs however are asked to attend and support the event as helpers.
The next DNP group meeting is to be on 3rd June 2024, all Councillors are welcome to attend, in a bid to expand the group and be able to form focus groups moving forward.
