Policy SS1 - Spatial strategy for new development

Representation ID: 5784

Received: 06/01/2024

Respondent: Braunston-in-Rutland Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Rutland is a small rural county and 2460 houses over the plan period seems high and unsustainable, we must not to exceed these figures, Rutland needs to remain a nice place to live for the current residents. The village hierarchy threshold for larger villages, many with very few facilities seems low, other local authorities have greater numbers for villages to become larger villages . The removal of the planned limits of development for small villages is most unsatisfactory and we object strongly as this will encourage development in unsustainable locations, the planned limits of development ensure protection to the countryside.


Our response:

Housing numbers are considered under policy H1.
Comments re classification of large and small villages and removal of PLDs are noted. This matter is considered in detail under policy SS4

Policy SS4 – Infill and rounding off development in smaller villages and hamlets

Representation ID: 5808

Received: 06/01/2024

Respondent: Braunston-in-Rutland Parish Council

Representation Summary:

We do not agree with removal of the planned limits of development in the least sustainable villages


Our response:

Comments noted. No change to the general approach to remove PLDs from small villages, however policy SS4 (now SS3) is to be amended to provide greater clarity to be added to the policy criteria.

Policy SS5 – St. George's Barracks Opportunity Area

Representation ID: 5809

Received: 06/01/2024

Respondent: Braunston-in-Rutland Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Not yet vacated by the military


Our response:

Support noted. Policy SS5 (now SS4) recognises that SGB is still occupied and may be vacated by 2026. As a Future Opportunity Area it does not allocate the site for housing/employment and so the Local Plan is not reliant on the site to meet development needs during the plan period.

Policy SS7 – Re-use of redundant military bases and prisons

Representation ID: 5813

Received: 06/01/2024

Respondent: Braunston-in-Rutland Parish Council

Representation Summary:

These military sites cover large areas and due consideration should be given to returning undeveloped areas to agriculture


Our response:

Support noted. It would be outside the scope of the Local Plan to require MOD land to be returned to agriculture given the length of time that the sites have been occupied by the armed forces when compared with, say, more temporary development such as solar farms.
