Development of 24 homes refused for a second time
A new proposal for a housing development in a village has been refused by planners at a council. The plan for 24 new homes in Glinton, near Peterborough, was put forward by the Rutland-based developer, Hereward Homes Ltd. Peterborough City Council refused the new scheme on Wednesday, following an initial application that was declined in December. According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS), the case officer report stated the latest proposal was "near identical" to the last and would have a "detrimental impact" on the village's rural setting. The fresh application was put forward in March, which Hereward Homes Ltd said addressed the previous issues. The developer argued the proposed development demonstrated a "high quality of design" and would use materials appropriate to the character of the village. The application received objections from the council's conservation officer, urban design officer and five local residents. The area has been the subject of three applications for new homes in the past. All of them were refused for reasons including insufficient visitor parking and highway safety. In May, plans for 250 homes submitted by Gladman Developments were refused, which raised concerns with the parish council and residents. Another application by Larkfleet Group for 95 homes was refused in February following opposition from councillors. Bob Randall, the vice-chairman of Glinton Parish Council, previously told the LDRS of the village's concerns about the proposed allocation of 355 homes in the council's draft Local Plan. He said: "Glinton is getting a big chunk of the development that's being proposed for rural villages and that is really unsustainable."

Plans for 250 homes in Glinton refused by Peterborough council
Plans for a major housing development in a village have been refused by a council after it received 137 City Council received an application in April last year from Gladman Developments for 250 new homes to be built in planning documents, which were refused on 19 May, described the development as a "sensitively designed and high-quality neighbourhood".Bob Randall, the vice-chairman of Glinton Parish Council, told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: "Adding an extra 250 homes and the traffic that involves would have been quite a burden on the village." The plans, which included a children's play area and public open space, said the development was "sensitively designed".A total of 137 residents and parties objected to the plans, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Boyce and Peter Hiller, Glinton ward councillors from the Peterborough First group, were among the people who objected against the proposal. Randall said: "There are not really sufficient spaces in the junior school or Arthur Mellows [Village College] to accommodate that addition within the village. "You'd end up with children having to go to schools some distance away."He said people were concerned after plans for a further 355 homes, which were part of the council's draft Local Plan, were still under consultation. "That's 355 houses that are being proposed and there's no way Glinton can anywhere near cope with a 50% increase in the size of the village," he added. City council planners refused the application from Gladman Developments, noting that the proposal did not fall into any of the categories under the current Local Plan.
