Peterborough Council approves 95 homes on farmland after appeal
A housing development of 95 homes has been approved following a council's U-turn on its decision to January, Peterborough City Council planners rejected the Larkfleet Group's application to build on fields on the southern edge of Glinton, council planners accepted local objections and had argued the development would result in "significant harm to the character and appearance of the area".But days before a public inquiry into the decision was due to start, the council was unable to demonstrate plans for a five-year housing supply, meaning its most important policies for determining the appeal were "out of date". Both parties agreed planning permission should be granted and the council would not raise any evidence against the appeal at the appeal lodged by Larkfleet Group and a public inquiry took place on Tuesday at Sand Martin House in Peterborough and concluded within three hours. In the past, three applications for the site have been refused by the latest set of proposals, which were submitted in September 2024, were opposed by parish councillors who argued other brownfield sites were available within Peterborough. The Larkfleet Group's plans said 30% of new homes would be affordable and there would be 4.16 hectares of open space, a play area and Goatley KC, representing Larkfleet Group, told the inquiry that all three reasons for refusal put forward by the council had "fallen away" and that the council "accepts there is no reason why planning permission should not be granted".He added: "The council cannot meet their five-year housing allowance by requirement. Indeed, they're significantly short of that threshold, 3.42 years to be precise."Clare Parry, representing Peterborough City Council, said there were "a number of changes in circumstances" since the initial refusal, including a review of the authority's five-year housing supply."The planning authority considers that, on the evidence currently available, it can demonstrate a supply of 4.88 years."Despite disagreeing on the housing supply figure, both parties agreed that, under either scenario, planning permission should be chairman of Glinton Parish Council, Bob Randall, told the inquiry that Glinton was "not a NIMBY village" and claimed a village survey showed that a majority of residents supported "limited growth".A number of planning conditions and S106 obligations were agreed on by both parties during the inquiry, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.

Housing plan approved in Peterborough's Glinton village
Plans for nine new homes within the grounds of a Grade II listed manor house have been City Council granted the planning application for two two-bedroom homes and seven four-bedroom homes within the former farmyard area of Manor House on High Street, Parish Council and some residents objected to the plans over the design of the homes and access for vehicles. The council's case officer said the proposed homes adopted an "appropriate, traditionally referenced barn-style design theme". The applicant, Alston Country Homes, had also sought listed building consent for works to a dovecote structure on the site, which will be incorporated into one of the homes."The resulting scheme respects important views and retains the visual prominence of the dovecote within the streetscape," the case officer said. While the case officer noted the proposed development was in a part of Glinton that has a "strong local identity and historic character", they decided the development would make "effective use of brownfield land" and the layout "responds positively to the key characteristics of the site and its surroundings".The case officer's report stated: "While the site lies within the Glinton Conservation Area and within the setting of the Grade II listed dovecote, the proposed development has been informed by a detailed understanding of the site's heritage value."Construction on the site must begin within three years.

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.
