We are highly concerned that, of the 1375 properties proposed in the plan, 48% of these are at QF.
Using brownfield sites is a much more suitable proposal than using the site at QF which seems to go against many of the key points in the production of the Local Plan
Key issues are:
- Reduction in biodiversity net gain and wildlife habitat
- Provisions of infrastructure - the infrastructure required for this development is almost wholly dependent upon the Stamford North Development being approved.
- Healthcare - existing practices are stretched to full capacity
- Education - the majority of primary schools in Stamford at full capacity, and both Welland Academy and Casterton College at full capacity, the reliance on the extra provision with Stamford North Development is concerning.
- Employment
- Affordable Housing - there needs to be assurances that the minimum level of affordable houses is met
- Highways and Traffic - We have major concerns about the 'link road' and access from these onto the Great North Road and Little Casterton Road and then ultimately further west onto Ryhall Road.
We feel that QF is an inappropriate location for this development with many essential amenities lacking.

We feel that the non-inclusion of St George's Barracks in the draft Local Plan is disappointing and, with the Plan to be adopted for at least 15 years and St George's Barracks closing in 2026, this seems like a much more appropriate location for a development.
