It is a Local Candidate Wildlife site and it’s inclusion is in conflict with Rutland’s environmental strategy, especially its Nature Recovery Strategy (EN2), Biodiversity Action Plan and previous CS4 policy commitment to not build in open countryside. Neither does it fulfil the criteria for a sustainable community, partly because of the spatial strategy, but also because of its over-reliance on service and infrastructure provision in the neighbouring town of Stamford (within SKDC)

These homes are not required there is no infrastructure to support this application and also would be destroying a area of natural beauty with it being a Local Wildlife site and it’s inclusion is in conflict with Rutland’s environmental strategy, especially its Nature Recovery Strategy (EN2), Biodiversity Action Plan and previous CS4 policy commitment to not build in open countryside.

It will damage an area of ecological importance. There is too much pressure on Stamford's services and town centre as it is- didnyoubtry going to Stamford last week for the Christmas Market? Total bedlam.

this is a fantastic area for important wildlife. Building houses on this area will impact on a vital area for biodiversity. It goes against everything said in other parts of the local plan. Local infrastructure cannot handle the extra pressure. Look at other sites like St. Georges barracks which does not have these issues attached to it

Lack of infrastructure (supermarkets, doctors) and loss of environment. Also, extra traffic without any improvement to A1 traffic links (Most residents will be commuting as rhere are few work opportunities in Stamford)

This huge development will have a major negative effect on a local area of natural beauty. It is a Local Wildlife site and developing here conflicts with Rutland’s Nature Recovery Strategy (EN2), Biodiversity Action Plan and previous CS4 policy commitment to not build in open countryside. Very limited resources are being provided by Rutland, which will depend on future residents using services and infrastructure in Stamford. Outside of Rutland, Stamford will not receive any council tax to fund services used by these residents. As a resident of the adjacent existing housing estate in Stamford these seems a cynical choice.

We don't want this Greenfield site developed in Stamford until we have sufficient infrastructure in place . We need another Secondary School to cope with the shortage of Secondary School places in Stamford . Also we need a new Doctors Surgery to cope with the extra influx of residents in the town . Its a well known fact that Lakeside Surgery cannot cope with the amount of registered patients now without a further influx .
All this traffic from the proposed development will have to cross town to get to the Supermarket and other facilities , not good !!!!!

Building housing here will be a disaster for Stamford and local services. The town can not support its population now, extra residents will add to the problem. GP and Dentists are oversubscribed. Parking is a nightmare.
Wildlife is well established and should be left to enjoy the quarry. Residents appreciate the joy of spending time here in a beautiful quite space. This will be lost when the area is developed. We do not need a managed nature reserve. Nature is all ready here and it manages it self, whether that might be rare or common flora or fauna

Overcrowding of Stamford's crammed medical facilities with no extra provision. Same with secondary schooling. Same with town parking. And local roads, namely Sidney Farm Lane and Arran Road will be jammed in the morning school and commute runs. No benefit to the town whatsoever.

To build here is going to destroy a beautiful wildlife area despite Rutland’s policy not to build on open countryside.

Furthermore this development is going to burden Stamford with more traffic and need for services. Rutland won’t be affected at all!

Traffic on roads would increase, people would need to commute to work therefore more congestion on the A1 and surrounding roads. Supermarkets on other side of town, increasing the traffic in the town.
Greater pressure on local services, our failing GP surgery, dentists, sewerage and water supply.
These houses lead on to a further 1350 houses the town would struggle to sustain.
Construction traffic would use the residential Arran Road or Great Casterton. These routes are used for Malcolm Sargent School & Casterton College.
Revenue from the council tax goes to Rutland all the impact would be on our town!!

This will hardly impact on Rutland but this will have a major impact on Stamford. Stamford is struggling at the moment with lack of Drs surgery and the traffic situation which will only be impacted further by the building of these houses . The site is teeming with wildlife which is enjoyed by local people as well as a regular safe place for walking dogs and horses.

I feel building on a candidate local wildlife site would be wrong. We should protect our biodiverse green spaces to help mitigate the climate emergency. Rutland has better options for development like St. George’s Barracks.

I object to Quarry Farm being included in the local plan for the following reasons:
(1) Environmental - QF is an area of open space with woodlands, rare plants, protected species, etc. Rutland's local plan emphasises the importance of nature so including QF seems in conflict with the stated aims in Rutland's local plan.
(2) Sustainable communities - building on QF is not the right location for creating sustainable communities as there will be increased traffic on Little Casterton Road and in the surrounding villages (Great & Little Casterton), and there are no supermarkets or GP surgeries north of Stamford.

This is an unsustainable development which will have drastic impacts on the local fauna and flora. This is a candidate wildlife site and to build on it will cause untold damage to the local environment. Alongside this it will cause undue burden on the already struggling local services and infrastructure. This is an unsuitable location for a development of this size.

Quarry Park is a vital biodiverse, green space for Stamford residents to enjoy and to connect with nature, which is teaming with wildlife. Housing and additional cars will have such a detrimental impact on the local ecosystem, and
the traffic is already horrendous, the town cannot absorb this amount of additional cars. 650 houses by Stamford - nothing this size within the rest of Rutland. The St George’s barracks has inferior biodiversity compared to Quarry Park, and should surely be considered for a development of this scale.

In the RCC Consultation Draft Local Plan document published in July 2017 the following statement was made:

Land in Rutland (Quarry Farm) on the edge of Stamford will be considered suitable for the development as part of a single urban extension on the north side of Stamford in conjunction with land located within South Kesteven District. This will support the sustainable growth of Stamford. Development within Rutland will only be supported as part of a comprehensive urban extension.

The Stamford North Development is a SKDC proposal which Rutland is required to support

Stamford cannot cope with anymore houses the roads are always congested and as there are very few job opportunities in town so the majority of residents will be commuting mainly on the A1 which has just been named as dangerous and not fit for purpose. The other services are struggling as well but this won’t affect Rutland as they will get all of the benefits while Stamford has to deal with the negatives. The CIL payments from previous developments have never benefited Stamford as a whole. So Quarry Farm should be left alone for people to enjoy.

Building on a wildlife site is wrong. Green spaces need to be protected. Many people use this site for dog walking and recreation. Stamford will gain nothing from developing this area except more congestion. Lack of healthcare, dentists and schools places are an issue now without the strain of more houses being built on this site and Stamford North. Pollution, extra traffic are also a major concern. St George’s Barracks is more suitable for Rutland’s housing allocation. A brown site where biodiversity will not be compromised. The proposed Quarry Farm development is not conducive to Rutland’s biodiversity plan.

Quarry farm should not be developed whilst other brownfield sites in the county are not.

It is also not fair that Rutland effectively build 650 new homes in Stamford with inadequate infrastructure additions.

Rutland housing quotas and Stamford will suffer the concequences of poor infrastructures in place. Heavy construction traffic in residential sreas. No new GP surgeries, no new dentist practices, destruction of our green fields and nature and leisure walks. Locals are suffering to get NHS dentists and any assemblance of a healthcare service, without thousands more adding to the misery. More substantial traffic to access A1 down Aaron Road (residential) and Sydney Farm Road. No disruption for Oakham and surrounding Rutland villages andvwe loose precious green areas.

The 650 houses seem to being erected without sufficient improvement to local infrastructure for sewage and other drainage. The current infrastructure cannot cope with the current amount of water leading to discharge of untreated sewage into local rivers. The local roads simply do not have the capacity to cope with the additional traffic. There does not seem to be a plan to increase medical support such as additional GP Services. Schools in Rutland & Stamford are also at maximum capacity now, without the planned increase.

Stamford simply can't take any more houses, as the road network is already a nightmare during the day, and the healthcare and schools just do not have the capacity. Stamford is slowly losing its charm which is very sad to see. Please see sense and make plans for building a new town / suburb on brown sites along the A1.

The proposed development would destroy Stamford’s only wildlife area. There is already no real GP service in Stamford. There are not enough school places, Casterton school would take quarry farm residents before Stamford, leaving the Stamford pupils no secondary school places. The proposed route to the A1 is Arran Road which is already a rat run at peak times. Why can’t Rutland use its own brownfield sites allowing the residents to use the Rutland facilities not Stamford’s.

“Stay awhile amid its ancient charm “ Stamford is at capacity with homes, traffic and congestion on a near daily basis. Do Rutland residents of Gt Casterton, Little Casterton, Ryhall, Toll-bar wish to become part of Stamford, if all these homes are built they will surely feel the impact as well as Stamfordians. Problems with GPs, schools, supermarkets and infrastructure, this development will only increase these problems. Quarry farm deserves wildlife status, councils seem to be contradicting themselves in wanting to build here. Wildlife will not survive if moved as suggested. Many are helped with mental health enjoying this area
