RCC would be putting a significant percentage of their housing targets on the Stamford boundary, with Stamford and SKDC suffering from insufficient infrastructure - council tax and CIL could go straight back to RCC. Building on greenfield sites should be reserved for situations without alternative. We. have an alternative in St George's Barracks. This greenfield site development would directly contradict RCC's Nature Recovery Strategy (EN2), Biodiversity Action Plan and previous CS4 policy commitment to not build in open countryside. This amendment sets a dangerous precedent for future applications. The land in question is a candidate wildlife site of ecological importance.

This proposal is a disaster in the making for nature, biodiversity, infrastructure, traffic and safety. It is diametrically opposed to stated sustainability goals and our local infrastructure CANNOT support the addition of so many homes. This proposal should be scrapped immediately as unworkable.

Strongly object to this proposal. This beautiful open space is a haven for nature, including rare species, and is a place for our children to thrive and learn. The town is way overstretched in terms of facilities, doctors, infrastructure, the list goes on. The added pressure of additional houses, on green land, would have a negative impact on the local environment and the community. Keep this area sacred. Has involved in making these decisions just stood in that space and really taken in what it means?

I would add my voice to many others objecting to this plan, given it's a candidate wildlife site, and runs contrary to Rutland's stated environmental and biodiversity objectives. In addition to added traffic congestion*, a serious lack of adequate infrastructure to support a large development in an area already suffering from poor infrastructure, can only worsen Stamford, and particularly Gt Casterton's congestion and shockingly non-existent road safety measures.

*With 650 homes it may add as many as 1,300 cars to an already congested - at peak times - Casterton Road, and Gt Casterton that does't have a single crossing.

The quarry provides drainage for Stamford and houses lots of our beautiful wildlife. Building on here would cause potential flooding to worsen, kill off trees, wildlife which goes against sustainability pledges.

The town has no infrastructure for more vehicles with the lack of parking and roads constantly being over burdened. We have no doctors surgeries that can cope with our population at present and no dentists. This is a housing development by Rutland and this does not fit within the south Kesteven boundaries therefore they should build in their own area.

on Summary:
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.

The site is of significant importance to the green spaces and biodiversity of our town. Stamford infrastructures are unable to cope with such increased housing and puts unsustainable pressure on the part of town in which I live with my family. The doctors is over subscribed and at breaking point and with all amenities at one end of the town causing traffic issues.

Whilst I understand the need for additional, affordable housing, I do not believe that Quarry Farm is a suitable site.
The impact that it will have on the area, I believe, will not be positive.
There are already issues with the amount of traffic, more houses equals more cars.
Also, in a town that already has significant issues with the lack of doctor surgeries and schools, I do not see how it will be beneficial.
Quarry Farm is a beautiful, currently, unspoilt area, that provides many people with the opportunity to be part of nature in a matter of minutes.

Quarry farm is a a greenfield area and should not be developed. The rich biodiversity will be lost. Habitats will be destroyed. The area is used by many families in Stamford for walking and playing safely. Children will miss out on chances to be in nature and appreciate and care for their environment,
There is already a lack of basic services in Stamford such as Drs surgeries. 1000+ extra dwellings will place services under further strain.

Reason's for objection include a lack of confidence in the proposed infrastructure being able to support the development and a lack of confidence that promised additional facilities to support the increasing population won't suffice - Stamford already struggles with provision here (e.g. Drs surgeries). I also have reservations around the environmental impact. I will sue Rutland council if this goes ahead and we are negatively impacted despite the objections.

This proposed development would mean the loss of a candidate local wildlife site situated in open countryside and a huge loss of biodiversity. The site is not right for large scale building as it would be detrimental to the infrastructure of Stamford. There would be increased traffic on the town's roads which are already congested; increased parking problems due to the town's limited number of parking spaces; increased demands on the emergency services as well as dentists and doctors which are already stretched to the limit; increased strain on services such as water and sewage; increased pressure on secondary education.

Housing development in this valuable green space is inappropriate. It is unfair that the pressures that this development brings in terms of local facilities would place a burden on the town of Stamford. The local roads cannot cope with more traffic. The A1 is dangerous at the beginning and end of the working day as so vehicles join fast flowing traffic on short slip roads. Accidents are frequent. Little Casterton Road is too narrow and won't cope with extra traffic.
Effort needs to be put into preserving and nurturing the diverse wildlife, flora and fauna on this site.

Absolutely disgusting that anyone at Rutland County Council who cares one bit about the environment or other people should be against this proposal. 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.

The proposed development is set in open countryside a space used by a large number of locals. It provides the perfect environment for wildlife including badgers, bats and deer. The Covid pandemic showed green free accessible open spaces are vital for people's wellbeing and mental health. This development will only add to Stamford's insufficient infrastructure, no NHS dental spaces, failing doctors surgery, most secondary school children are bused elsewhere, a failing road system around the local villages and town. The workers traffic sits on the A1 at A606 junction this will get worse as there is no work in Stamford.
