Introduction 1.1 This Planning Statement is prepared on behalf of the applicant, Rioja Developments, in respect of a hybrid planning application for a Designer Outlet Village (hereinafter referred to as Grantham DOV) at the site known as King 31, Grantham. 1.2 The development is described in the planning application as: Hybrid planning application for the Grantham Designer Outlet Village, comprising: Phase 1 – Full planning permission for erection of up to 20,479 sqm (GEA) of floorspace comprising retail units (A1), restaurants and cafes (A3), management suite and tourism unit, play areas, and only storage at first floor level (1,267 sqm). New access road and access points, parking for up to 1,675 cars, 13 coaches, 90 bicycle spaces and a bus stop. Land remodelling, drainage works, hard and soft landscaping and all ancillary works. Phase 2 – outline planning application for up to 12,550 sqm (GEA) of floorspace comprising retail units (A1), restaurants and cafes (A3) and only storage at first floor level (2,288 sqm); up to 709 car parking spaces (315 net additional), including a decked parking area; 65 bicycle spaces; and an hotel (85 rooms 2,778 sqm GEA) with 80 car parking spaces; hard and soft landscaping (all matters reserved with the exception of Access). 1.3 Rioja Developments is one of Europe’s leading specialist Designer Outlet Village developers. The application for planning permission for the Grantham DOV follows the grant of planning permission to the Applicant for the Mill Green Designer Outlet Village in Cannock serving the West Midlands. This application proposal brings forward a high-quality Designer Outlet Village in Grantham to serve the Eastern Region. 1.4 Buckminster, the site owner, is a long-standing family-owned local property investment business with rural property in the Lincolnshire/Leicestershire border area as well as significant retail, office, leisure and ground-lease interests in and around Grantham. Buckminster has been a major investor in Grantham town centre for over 200 years. The business is also actively involved in the promotion and development of growth opportunities for Grantham, including the Poplar Farm residential scheme in the North West Quadrant and the South Grantham Sustainable Urban Extension proposal known as Spitalgate Heath. NTR Planning Page 1 Planning Statement Grantham Designer Outlet Village 1.5 Buckminster plays an active role in Grantham business initiatives such as the Go Grantham Business Improvement District proposal and the Grantham Business Club, and is a significant landowner within Grantham Town Centre. They have a vested interest in ensuring that Grantham DOV acts as a game-changer for Grantham and the wider area, and positively enhances the Town Centre through increasing footfall, visitor numbers, investment, and expenditure within it. 1.6 The application has been the subject of extensive pre-application discussion and stakeholder events with members of the public, South Kesteven District Council and other interested parties. The details of this are provided in the Statement of Community Involvement prepared by Local Dialogue, and submitted with the planning application. NTR Planning Page 2 Planning Statement Grantham Designer Outlet Village 2. Scope of Statement 2.1 The scope of this Statement is as follows. Section 3 provides a description of the application site and its context; Section 4 provides an overview of the planning history of the site; Section 5 provides details the application proposal; Section 6 reviews DOVs through the planning system; Section 7 sets out relevant planning policy concluding that the proposal is in accordance with the development plan and the Framework so far as they are relevant; Section 8 provides a planning analysis of the proposal in the context of these policies and other planning considerations; and Section 9 provides a summary and conclusion.

Site Description 3.1 The site is fully described in the Environmental Statement and the Design and Access Statement. Immediate Site Context 3.2 The site forms a parcel of land to the west of Spitalgate Level on the southern edge of Grantham. It is predominantly in agricultural use and lies between the A1 main transport route to the west, an industrial estate to the east at Tollemache Road South and Tollemache Road North, and the route of the King 31 Link Road to the north. The site is approximately 2.5kms from Grantham Town Centre. 3.3 The total application site area is 14.78ha and includes areas of current farmland, part of a former and now restored quarry (approximately 9.85 and 3.83ha respectively) and part of the King 31 Link Road that joins with the adopted highway at Tollemache Road North. The site’s western boundary is not currently physically defined on the ground, but the application borders the proposed embankment and highway works (see below) of the new A1 junction and the King 31 Link Road. 3.4 A water tower, residential properties and Grantham Preparatory School are located on Gorse Lane, beyond the site boundary to the north. The wider urban area of Grantham lies to the north beyond intervening agricultural land. Photos 1 and 2 – Immediate Site Context: King 31 Link Road NTR Planning Page 4 Planning Statement Grantham Designer Outlet Village Wider Site Context 3.5 Grantham is described in paragraph 1.7.3 of the Council’s Core Strategy (adopted 2010) as follows: ‘The town of Grantham is the largest town in south west Lincolnshire. Grantham had a population estimated at just over 45,000 in 2007 and a travel to work population rising to over 60,000. Grantham's strategic road and rail location alongside the A1, A52 Nottingham/Derby east coast link and the A607 Lincoln to Leicester road are key routes which serve the town. The East Coast Main Line has an hourly rail service calling at Grantham, providing a fast and effective link to London's Kings Cross, or north as far as Edinburgh. Grantham has been identified as an urban area with the capacity to support sustainable growth. This will provide the means to strengthen the role of the town as a Sub-Regional Centre. Grantham has also been awarded New Growth Point status, which will require two urban extensions to accommodate the increased development.’ 3.6 Visit South West Lincolnshire, which is part of SKDC’s Cultural Services Department, describe Grantham as: ‘The gateway to Lincolnshire – with its A1 links and high speed rail service to London – just over an hour- the town picked up two accolades recently when it was named as one of the top commuter towns in the country with good value property and one of the best towns to live in Britain.’ 3.7 Grantham is identified under the Core Strategy’s Spatial Policy 1 as the location where the majority of all new development should be focused within South Kesteven in order to support and strengthen its role as a Sub-Regional Centre. The policy identifies that this will include development upon appropriate greenfield sites. 3.8 Grantham has been identified by the applicant as the best location to meet the need for an upscale (Tier 1) DOV in the region. The site has an excellent level of accessibility

    2nd August 2017 Hart District Council Harlington Way Fleet Hampshire GU51 4AE Dear Sirs, Representations in support of Land at Murrell Green, Hook Following the recent Draft Hart Local Plan: Strategy and Sites 2011-2032 Regulation 18 Consultation ending in June 2017, Crest Nicholson would like to express our strong support for the proposed Allocation at Murrell Green (SHLAA Site Reference STR 011) which is being promoted principally by Lightwood Strategic. Hook is a sustainable location for housing growth within Hart District, with its designation as ‘Primary Local Service Centre’. This is due to its excellent strategic transport connections with the rest of the District by both road (M3, A30, and A287) and rail (station on the South Western Mainline). Hook offers substantial opportunities for employment, retail and leisure, which enhances the sustainability credentials of the town even further. Hart’s need for new housing is clear, with the 2016 Strategic Housing Market Assessment (SHMA) setting out an Objectively Assessed Housing Need (OAHN) of 382 new homes per annum, equivalent to 8,022 new homes over the plan period (2011-2032). We support the Council in their positive step to include an additional uplift to these figures to help them meet their priority need for subsidised affordable rented homes which generates a revised figure of 10,185 new homes over the plan period. As part of the Duty to Co-operate however, it is highly possible that unmet needs may arise from Surrey Heath Borough Council (SHBC) and this situation should be monitored closely in case Hart is required to assist SHBC in any way.

Experian’s forecasts are based on an econometric model of disaggregated consumer spending. This model takes a number of macro-economic forecasts (chiefly consumer spending, incomes and inflation) and uses them to produce forecasts of consumer spending volumes, prices and value, broken down into separate categories of goods.
