South Kesteven District Council Local Plan 2011- 2036 South Kesteven District Council Local Plan 2011- 2036 Information and Contacts For further information on the Local Plan please contact the Planning Policy team. You can contact us: By mail: [email protected] By telephone: 01476406080 In Person: Planning Policy Council Offices St Peter's Hill Grantham Lincolnshire NG31 6PZ By post: to the address above The new Local Plan and all information related to it can be found via the Council’s website: www.southkesteven.co.uk/newlocalplan SOUTH KESTEVEN NEW LOCAL PLAN 2011 -2036 1 (i)Foreword By Councillor Michael King – Cabinet Member for Economy and Development The purpose of this new Local Plan is to both pave the way for the delivery of high quality, sustainable, growth in South Kesteven and to ensure that we also protect and safeguard what is special about our natural and built environment in equal measure.Indeed it is the essential quality of our District that will continue to make it attractive to investors in jobs and homes. By their very nature local plans are framework documents - they don’t actually make things happen on the ground without subsequent private and public sector development and investment.However, it is the Council’s firm intention to work closely with all these investors in order to grow and maintain our towns, villages and countryside as thriving local communities. You will recognise many of the policies in the Local Plan being variations of those which have served us well in the previous Local Plan published in 2010.Although the new Plan period is to 2036 it is recognised and indeed likely, as the national and local perspective continues to change and adapt, that its policies will need to be reviewed every five years. Some of the new or enhanced measures included in the new Local Plan are: A new Southern Gateway strategic employment location of up to 105 hectares, centred on the new A1/ Southern Relief Road interchange, to support the continuing economic growth of Grantham SOUTH KESTEVEN NEW LOCAL PLAN 2011 -2036 2 Development of the Spitalgate Heath Garden Village for Grantham involving some 3,700 new homes and related employment opportunities Inclusion of a new strategic housing area, with associated employment, on the north side of Stamford amounting to nearly 1,300 homes and associated facilities A development strategy for Bourne which accommodates the community’s and Neighbourhood Plan Group’s desires to plan for the future sustainable growth of their town New employment and housing sites in Market Deeping, including land at Linchfield Road to be master planned for around 590 new homes The introduction of a policy relaxation to allow some homes to be built for local people with community support, in even the smallest villages An intention to prepare a Supplementary Planning Document to ensure good design within all developments Recognition of the importance of the visitor and retail economy building on the heritage and vibrancy of our market towns and villages. Some of the tried and tested policies which we aim to continue using are: A concentration of employment and housing growth in the four towns – Grantham, Stamford, Bourne and the Deepings 50% of new housing is intended for Grantham in order to give it the critical mass to attract strategic employment and higher ranking services A concentration of village housing in the fifteen Larger Villages The protection of shops, pubs and other services in all villages For housing developments of 11 or more homes the provision of affordable homes through Section 106 Planning agreements. Finally, we have made a number of changes to the Plan as a result of both the extensive public consultation that took place in the summer of 2017 and changing national imperatives particularly the emphasis on delivering more housing; amongst these are: Adherence to our original target of 625 new homes a year rather than adopting the Government’s new standard methodology which would require 785, but because of a poor building rate between 2011 and 2018 this means providing land for an average of 686 per year from now till 2036 Proposals for some additional housing sites in larger villages and in Grantham and modifications to some previously proposed ones SOUTH KESTEVEN NEW LOCAL PLAN 2011 -2036 3 Relaxation of the kinds of businesses we would permit on our strategic employment sites for each town in order to encourage investment and implementation. We will do our utmost to achieve the delivery of more local employment opportunities and high quality new housing but as things stand we still do not have the powers to absolutely ensure that the land we allocate and the subsequent planning permissions are readily implemented. I commend this Proposed Submission Local Plan to you.

    hereward and the Barony of Bourne file:///C:/EDrive/Medieval Texts/Articles/Geneaology/hereward.htm Lincolnshire History and Archaeology, 29 (1994), 7-10. Hereward 'the Wake' and the Barony of Bourne: a Reassessment of a Fenland Legend [1] Hereward, generally known as 'the Wake', is second only to Robin Hood in the pantheon of English heroes. From at least the early twelfth century his deeds were celebrated in Anglo-Norman aristocratic circles, and he was no doubt the subject of many a popular tale and song from an early period. [2] But throughout the Middle Ages Hereward's fame was local, being confined to the East Midlands and East Anglia. [3] It was only in the nineteenth century that the rebel became a truly national icon with the publication of Charles Kingsley novel Hereward the Wake .[4] The transformation was particularly Victorian: Hereward is portrayed as a prototype John Bull, a champion of the English nation. The assessment of historians has generally been more sober. Racial overtones have persisted in many accounts, but it has been tacitly accepted that Hereward expressed the fears and frustrations of a landed community under threat. Paradoxically, however, in the light of the nature of that community, the high social standing that the tradition has accorded him has been denied. [5] The earliest recorded notice of Hereward is the almost contemporary annal for 1071 in the D version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. A Northern recension probably produced at York,[6] its account of the events in the fenland are terse. It records the plunder of Peterborough in 1070 'by the men that Bishop Æthelric [late of Durham] had excommunicated because they had taken there all that he had', and the rebellion of Earls Edwin and Morcar in the following year.

Map Features: Comment text: I feel the proposal to change the name of the Aveland Ward to Fenside Ward to be inappropriate and ill-conceived. The Aveland ward has been centred on the River Ave for decades and renaming it serves no purpose over than to allude to its proximity to the Fens and when one considers the Fens cover four counties (Norfolk, Cambs, Lincs and Suffolk), the name Fenside has no distinct local association with the area covered by the ward. When one also considers the fact that half the ward lies on the high ground to the west of the Fens where the source of the River Ave rises, the inappropriateness of the name change is even more profound. To keep the name of the ward unchanged would result in it remaining associated with a name that has been recognised locally for centuries and therefore should remain unchanged. https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk//node/print/informed-representation/2584 22/11/2013 Local Government Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 2 of 2 https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk//node/print/informed-representation/2584 22/11/2013 Local Government Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 2 South Kesteven District Personal Details: Name: Brynley Heaven E-mail: Postcode: Parish Council [personal Organisation Name: capacity] Contains Ordnance Survey data © Crown copyright and database rights 2013.

  • Mercian 2013 B.Indd
    Former workings in Jurassic ironstone near Grantham Geoffrey Warrington Abstract: The Lower Jurassic Marlstone Rock Formation was formerly worked for ironstone near Denton (SE Lincolnshire), and the Middle Jurassic Northampton Sand Formation near Hungerton and Colsterworth (SE Lincolnshire) and Saltby (NE Leicestershire), southwest and south of Grantham. Two ammonites from the Northampton Sand Formation at Hungerton are illustrated. Four ironstone quarries near Grantham (Fig. 1) were below the Whitby Mudstone Formation (formerly Upper visited during an excursion from the British Association Lias). The ironstone, a slightly calcareous sideritic ore, meeting in Nottingham in 1966. One, at Denton Park in was greenish-black when unweathered, and whitish or SE Lincolnshire, was worked for the Marlstone Rock grey-brown when weathered. Cross-bedding indicated Formation (Upper Pliensbachian – Toarcian; formerly an easterly transport direction, similar to that recorded the Marlstone Rock Bed). The others, at Colsterworth and Hungerton in SE Lincolnshire and Saltby in NE Leicestershire, were worked for the Northampton Sand Formation (Aalenian; formerly the Northampton Sand Ironstone Formation). The lithostratigraphic nomenclature follows Cox et al. (1999) and Carney et al. (2004), with equivalents used in older literature given in parenthesis at the first mention. The Denton and Hungerton sites are now infilled, but exposures remained at Colsterworth and Saltby in 2008. Photographs taken in 1966 record a once- important extractive industry in its last years. (All grid references cited below are [SK]). Denton Park Pit, in Marlstone Rock The history of working at Denton Park [857317], the most easterly of the quarries in this formation in the Woolsthorpe area, was documented by Tonks (1992).

  • Groundwater in Jurassic Carbonates
    Groundwater in Jurassic carbonates Field Excursion to the Lincolnshire Limestone: Karst development, source protection and landscape history 25 June 2015 Tim Atkinson (University College London) with contributions from Andrew Farrant (British Geological Survey) Introduction 1 The Lincolnshire Limestone is an important regional aquifer. Pumping stations at Bourne and other locations along the eastern edge of the Fens supply water to a large population in South Lincolnshire. Karst permeability development and rapid groundwater flow raise issues of groundwater source protection, one of themes of this excursion. A second theme concerns the influence of landscape development on the present hydrogeology. Glacial erosion during the Middle Pleistocene re-oriented river patterns and changed the aquifer’s boundary conditions. Some elements of the modern groundwater flow pattern may be controlled by karstic permeability inherited from pre-glacial conditions, whereas other flow directions are a response to the aquifer’s current boundary conditions. Extremely high permeability is an important feature in part of the confined zone of the present-day aquifer and the processes that may have produced this are a third theme of the excursion. The sites to be visited will demonstrate the rapid groundwater flow paths that have been proved by water tracing, whereas the topography and landscape history will be illustrated by views during a circular tour from the aquifer outcrop to the edge of the Fenland basin and back. Quarry exposures will be used to show the karstification of the limestone, both at outcrop and beneath a cover of mudrock. Geology and Topography The Middle Jurassic Lincolnshire Limestone attains 30 m thickness in the area between Colsterworth and Bourne and dips very gently eastwards.
