Site Allocation Assessment: Appendix C -larger Villages SHLAA SOU 02 Site ID 50 Development Agricultural Land Grade 3 -North of A6121 Stamford Road. States Indicative Capacity 44 based on Standard Calculation in SH LAA methodology. In the Conclusion however 152 dwellings are indicated in the report, is this a typo as based on 152 dwellings this number would be disproportionate to the present number of dwellings in South Luffenham and present significant unrealistic pressures on current infrastructure and access to the current road system.

Plan appears to concentrate on National guidelines, the plan only addresses new build developments and not existing dwellings which rely heavily on carbon generated fuels.

Strategic objective 2- Sustainable Development Population increases – but while indicating current primary/secondary education facilities does not address how population increases and housing developments will impact on existing amenities. In addition, current healthcare facilities currently struggle to meet patient demands.

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.

Plan concentrates on new build developments and reducing waste. As new development will only realise 10% growth of new homes over a 20-year period, more survey work should be undertaken on the existing household recycling and how that service could be improved. How will this be managed, resources required to audit, the Council are already stretched in terms of Highways inspectors for example. More Building control inspectors would be required to monitor the new developments.

Plan concentrates on new build developments and building to almost “Passivhaus” standards. Consideration should be given to existing building stock in reducing heat losses and energy usage of primary fuels i.e. gas/oil/electric

The plan looks at designs to reduce overheating and negate the use of air conditioning. The use of ASHP’s to reduce carbonisation by 2030 within new developments would by its nature provide cooling via underfloor heating or buildings will have to be designed to reduce heat gains via orientation or use thermal mass, which might be at variance with the plan for affordability housing. Where large sites are proposed consideration should be given to ground source heat pumps system serving multiple dwellings.

Roof mounted PV is mentioned for any new development, what consideration or derogation was considered where development falls within conservation areas. Building Control/management can this be undertaken with existing resources?

Plan concentrates on efficiencies and management but does not address the failings of a Victorian water infrastructure that gives rise to leaks and wastage and reduced water pressure. South Luffenham has only recently (summer 2023) been upgraded to MDPE to replace the life expired asbestos pipework. As the water authority is a private body there appears little joined up approach to overhauling the water infrastructure.
