Another short sighted plan. Don't change what isn't broken. I don't believe in change for change sake. Destroying Rutland and Uppingham's USP, I reall y hope you listen as you will never be forgiven at the next ballot box.

Nothing in this plan for substantial individual houses, everything is an estate. Maybe if the school hadn't bought all these houses with land then it wouldn't be an issue.

Restricting the allocation of new dwellings in Uppingham to 316 does not provide sufficient flexibility for the UNP and local development proposals to respond to any changes in circumstances concerning the need for and delivery of dwellings both in Uppingham and elsewhere in Rutland.

We accordingly support the wording of Policy H1 on the proviso that the proposed indicative housing supply for Uppingham is specified as a minimum figure.

The overall allocation of dwellings to Uppingham in the emerging Local Plan should be increased above the 316 dwellings identified in Policy H1.

Sites U-HA4 and U-HA5 of the Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan have difficult access arrangements and are proposed as longer-term allocations. The difficulty in achieving access is because they are potentially ransomed due to neighbouring land being in different ownership and therefore it may take time to identify suitable means of access to both sites. It may be the case that these allocations may prove more difficult to deliver than has been considered as part of the Neighbourhood Plan.
We would therefore support a wider allocation of land for housing to the north and northeast of the existing built form of Uppingham, set within the boundaries of the A47 to the north and Glaston Road to the east, to ensure that any delays in delivery of sites U-HA4 and U-HA5 can be met on immediately adjacent sites.
This would be reflected in a higher housing requirement for Uppingham and for the County as a whole as suggested in our comments on policy SSP1

The indicative housing density of 25 homes per hectare, suggests that the necessary number of affordable homes for Rutland residents will not be delivered and the nature of the developments will simply serve to increase commuting numbers at the expense of the loss of farming land

I object to this plan. More and more dwellings being built in Uppingham with no regard to the existing strain on the (very limited) resources in the area.

Traveller site, Seaton Road, Uppingham - not popular with anyone I have met.
There are a ridiculous no. of houses being built in Uppingham already - we don't have the infrastructure to support it - doctors, shops, schools etc.. The houses are huge and expensive, which do not suit those on a lower income. The town is losing its charm already....
Flooding outside the Exeter Arms in Uppingham this week - not surprisingly from the new developments up Leicester Rd. More needs to be done by these builders for water to soak away even in Uppingham!

With reference to the proposed traveller’s dwellings off seaton road Uppingham .
Three dwellings are proposed to be built on woodland which is I am led to believe protected , the site is of important natural interest and beauty,and I am concerned that the wild life would be endangered and trees would be felled to accommodate the proposed dwellings , over the past thirty years the traffic has increased and what was a quiet country road is now very busy due to the the town population growth, and the Hornbeam close development, I do not wish to see traveller caravans!!,

This needs to include the Uppingham Gate housing allocation.
The housing sites selected in the Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan are fully supported by community organisations and the Town Council given that town has no brownfield sites and, as one of only two urban areas in the county, needs to contribute appropriately to the total housing figures in the county.

Alongside Oakham, Uppingham is one of two principal settlements in Rutland and hence the high apportionment of net dwellings over the plan period to this settlement. For such a fundamental limb of the emerging local plan’s spatial strategy, not allocating any land within the emerging local plan to meet this need represents a significant risk in the event of any delay to the review of the Uppingham Neighbourhood Plan. It should also be recognised that emerging neighbourhood plans are not subject to the same stringent tests of soundness and accordingly, there is a greater risk of site allocations within the neighbourhood plan not coming forward.

We support the role of Uppingham in delivering a relatively large proportion of the housing requirement owing to its status as a Market Town however we have concerns with the proposed approach to leave the allocation of sites at Uppingham to the Neighbourhood Plan.

The 316 dwellings currently directed to Uppingham equates to 23% of the total supply identified and to leave the identification of such a large quantum of sites until an unknown point in time does not provide the certainty needed to ensure these homes are delivered.
It is our view that sites should be allocated in Uppingham through the local plan review to provide certainty for the delivery of what is a large proportion of the proposed housing supply.

It is our view that one of the proposed residential allocations at Uppingham should be SHELAA/UPP/09a – land off the Quadrant.

The following representation is made on behalf of the Peterborough Diocesan Board of Finance who are the owners of land lying to the north of Leicester Road, Uppingham.
At approximately 64.24 acres, the land has the potential to accommodate : -
• Residential Development (500-600 dwellings) including affordable housing. There is strong developer interest in the site
• Provision of Part of the proposed Western Bypass for Uppingham
• Siting and provision of additional community facilities and biodiversity net gains
• Landscaping to buffer the northern edge of Uppingham against the A47
The land is crossed by a public footpath which provides a potential link through to Uppingham itself.
Our client's land to the north of Leicester Road comprises a site that would provide a location for sustainable and comprehensive growth immediately adjacent to the emerging town boundary.

Uppingham is a very sustainable market town in Rutland and should accommodate a significantly higher proportion of growth commensurate with its position in the settlement hierarchy than is currently allocated to it (316 dwellings). The town has aspirations to grow economically, attract more and varied employment opportunities which will require more new homes, including affordable homes.

This representation is made on behalf of the following landowners in respect of their respective interests on land being promoted for residential development (500 dwellings) and western link road on land located between Stockerston Road and Leicester Road Uppingham.

The Site was not promoted for residential development as part of the Call-for-Sites process in 2022. However, the proposed site has since undergone a variety of studies detailed in supporting documents.

We have also taken the opportunity to assess the Site against the relevant SHLAA Assessment criteria.

The Site adjoins the western edge of the town, has the potential to provide a plan-led development that would deliver:
• a logical extension well related to the town Uppingham;
• the necessary land to deliver the long sought-after objective for the town of a western link road between Stockerston Road and Leicester Road, providing significant relief to the centre of the town;
• a high-quality, beautifully designed development capable of commencing early delivery of new homes to meet the housing needs of the town (including all forms of affordable housing) set within an environment friendly strategic green edge with bio-diversity net gain, pocket parks/open spaces and new recreational routes set within it;
• the potential for a new Primary school site;
• a sustainable development, particularly in relation to the facilities available within the town.

We, therefore respectfully request that land north of Uppingham Road, the subject of this representation, be identified as a housing allocation along with the delineation of a road corridor for the provision of a western link road between Stockerston Road and Leicester Road, Uppingham in the Regulation 19 Pre-Submission Plan.
