Rutland's market towns and larger villages need better public transport links (including in the evening and on Sundays) and more support for bringing the arts to local communities (eg Live and Local). Currently most trade and retail, and arts events are outside Rutland, which impoverishes our towns and villages.

Reference to the diverse and thriving network of villages and communities that serve local needs should also reflect the need for carefully targeted growth to support the local amenities and heritage assets in these places as a particular priority.

There is no evidence that this will benefit Rutland being part of Stamford it will be a further drain on Stamford's already struggling infrastructure

Health provision is totally inadequate, I witnessed an elderly gentleman at Oakham medical practice last week requesting an appointment, he was told there were none available and that was it, no help, no guidance, he left with no prospect of any help, this is unacceptable! Poor chap.

Mental health care needs to be extended.
Oakham is our county town and RCC needs to boost its identity. The town needs to be improved and developed as a hub for our communities across the county. We have a strong infrastructure of rail and road networks and these should be acknowledged and exploited so that Oakham becomes a 'go to' location. Currently there is little effort at RCC to support Oakham and resource is dissipated through council support for Uppingham and neighbouring villages. Creating opportunities for all through targeted funding on cultural and sporting activities is long overdue.

The development is not supportive of landscape character, the proposed development is too large to be in keeping with the village and of rural life and it will cause congestion.

1) Market Towns - Clearly I agree with this.
I hope the Council will think again about pedestrianising sensible areas of Oakham. Again - look at the difference this makes in Stamford (and Uppingham).
2) Developing diverse villages - Great. What do you mean? How will you do it?
3) New development etc supporting health - you have already failed here - with the approval of 66 houses in a village with no support for any of these things. It would be lovely if these 'ideas' were put into practice.
4) Protecting the County's heritage assets. Obviously but you are not doing this.

The market towns are something to be proud but could be so much better We have good businesses, quality shops, private sector investment, some positive voluntary projects i,e Rutland in bloom groups All this despite what seems a poor vision ,planning and economic development policy and action. Do we have a street scene policy including ,shop front design ,street signage, street furniture car parking, traffic management., the road junction near the library is an accident waiting to happen..

Would Healthy and Vibrant be more appropriate. This would also be measurable in the longer term rather than strong might be.

To help Rutland County' market towns and villages thrive more housing needs to be allocated to them rather than allocating 650 to what is an urban extension of Stamford which of course is a South Kesteven District Settlement.

Of course support these aspirations but how is this achievable ? New housing designs not compatible with landscape character and identity. Perhaps this is inevitable. Old with new etc. But let’s be honest about the inevitability and put energies into measures to mitigate the impact.

The objective aims to achieve the above through a number of measures. Related to Land West of Apple Gate House is the measure to develop a diverse and thriving network of villages and communities that serve local needs and maintaining their viability and sustainability for future generations to enjoy.

Our client is supportive of this objective. The promoted site and appeal application for three dwellings would assist with this measure, providing required housing to serve local needs now and in the future whilst adding to the vitality of Whitwell village through proportionate growth.

Recent policies propose intensive re-development of the St George’s Barracks site and greenfield development in the Edith Weston parish.

Whilst this represents a reduction from previous proposals, these proposals are at odds with the vision, particularly with respect to climate change, rural character and natural environment and infrastructure.

Similarly, they would be contrary to strategic objectives SO1, SO2, SO3, SO4, SO5, SO8, SO9, and SO10.

We suggest that the strategic aim to develop a more diverse community be made stronger, particularly in terms of attracting more a diverse and younger community into Rutland.
