Benefits of the new proposal

  • Less traffic and HGVs.
  • Substantially smaller scale than the commercial development which already has planning.
  • More fitting with the mainly residential character on Empingham Road.
  • Significantly lower impact on the landscape and views, contained within existing tree belts/green spaces.
  • New, accessible and multifunctional greenspace.
  • Better connectivity via green corridors and paths enabling easy access for existing and new residents to the new facilities being provided.
  • New trim trail, recreational facilities and better biodiversity across the site.

In designing the new proposals we also reviewed the responses to our previous public consultation in 2013 when respondents told us the priorities should:

  • Ensure design is sensitive to neighbours.
  • Deliver a mix of homes.
  • Achieve a high quality design to reflect the town’s architectural heritage.
  • Minimise traffic movements through the town centre.
  • Provide high quality employment space.
  • Deliver future housing requirements in one location.
