The proposal to build 650 houses at Quarry Farm does not support this Objective.
The houses will be constructed on Green Belt not a Brown Site.
There are no Health Care Facilities proposed and the Local Medical Centre in Stamford is in Special Measures, and has insufficient doctors for the current population far less the proposed 2,000 houses and families of which the initial 650 proposed at Quarry Farm is only phase 1.
The existing roads and travel routes are totally inadequate for the current traffic.
The local schools are already full - are Rutland going to bus children elsewhere?

Essential infrastructure and services are absolutely key to any sustainable growth. Any infrastructure should be in place as development takes place, and be mandatory - in particular health services and transport

Essential infrastructure, as quoted in this policy, need to be in place before a development is complete. It is no good watching the number of NHS patients or school children in an area increasing and waiting until there is an crisis with lack of health facilities and schools before starting to create a new medical practice/health centre/school. Likewise with public transport, cycle routes etc - if they are already in place then new residents will use them instead of getting used to alternatives.

Before large scale sites are considered, appropriate facilitates need to be part of the development or already in place. For example Land off Mill Lane is for 90 houses. Schools are over scribed in the village and so are doctors surgeries. The village can not support a development of this scale. More appropriately sized infill sites such as Harrier Close would be better suited to development.

Reduce the green waste collection costs to prevent fly tipping. Bring them in line with average UK costs. Why should we have the most expensive green bin collection above the most expensive council tax?

Support, but should include the need to co-ordinate use of available space and prevent unnecessary/unwelcome urban sprawl. Rutland is a small county, and every scrap of green space is precious,

Yes, of course I support this, but I fear that it’s just another example of promises that do not get delivered. Infrastructure must be in place before developments take place so that there are sufficient GPs, school places, transport options etc already there for the increased population. The council’s track record on this does not inspire confidence.

The healthcare infrastructure is a source of anxiety for many of us who live here.
RCC needs to better support access to high quality medical care including ambulance and urgent care assistance.
Recent flooding has added to concerns about getting to emergency care when needed.

This is an top priority objective. Why is it listed at No 10?
The revised NPPF places emphasis on the development of infrastructure at the same time as housing development. This needs to be a top priority in Rutland

Increasd traffic will cause congestion around the school. Healt services in the area are already stretched and thus pressure on them will be increased.

Great objectives . But can we put the objective to the test in Whissendine?
You have approved the building of 66 houses on "green infrastructure" outside this rural village; the largest rural development in Rutland for many years - and much larger than any in Rutland's draft 5-year plan.
It would be a huge boost to Rutland Council's credibility if it proportionately improved in Whissendine:
health care facilities
roads and active travel routes
schools
sport and recreation
Safe movement around the County
Sustainable modes of travel - greener travel networks for walking, cycling and public transport.
You said you would!

I support this. Particularly the reference to green and blue infrastructure and enhancing green transport options. Rutland has one of the lowest percentage tree canopy cover of the UK, and could see significant improvement in biodiversity and nature access.

Of course support all this but how is all this to be achieved. County Council is so short of resources. There is a limit as to what changes can be made and development undertaken for the better. This is motherhood and apple pie aspiration. All laudable but sadly not achievable. Let’s be more honest and acknowledge this and then agree what can and cannot be done.

The plan while indicating the most viable centres i.e. Oakham, Uppingham and Stamford for housing development is does not address the impact on neighbouring villages for increased traffic if Rutland is a net exporter of a labour to areas outside the county.

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.

– surely it is not just new development that must be supported by appropriate infrastructure, but all
aspects of life in the county (economy and business, recreation, health, education, etc.) as the population grows and evolves.
The Strategic Objectives need to be expanded to cover:
i) Healthcare and well-being, physical, mental or spiritual
ii) Protecting open countryside and preserving our rural environment
iii) Need to co-ordinate the use of available space and prevent unnecessary and unwelcome urban sprawl
iv) Matching additional developments, both residential and commercial, with projected population changes
v) Cooperation with adjoining regions.

10 Ensure Development is Supported by Essential Infrastructure
The background information re population size, age demographics etc. are noted.
How is this to be achieved?
We see lots of detail with regard to Housing Allocation, but nothing on further infrastructure provision?
