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 new homes resubmitted after refusal
Fresh plans have been submitted to a council for 24 new homes after an initial application was refused. The housing development, put forward by Rutland-based developer Hereward Homes Ltd, would be located on land in Glinton. The initial application for 24 new houses at the site were submitted to Peterborough City Council in December and were later refused by planners in February. According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, planners at the council argued that the development would result in an "unacceptable erosion" of the eastern boundary of the village. The new homes would be located on agricultural land next to Peakirk Road in Glinton. Planners added that the proposed homes were also considered to "appear alien and incongruous within the street scene," according to the Local Democratic Reporting Service. Addressing the previous reasons for refusal in its new planning application, the applicant stated: "Glinton as a sustainable community close to the edge of Peterborough city is a suitable location in principle for the location of extra homes." The latest planning application argues that the proposed development "demonstrates a high quality of design" appropriate to the character of the village. It also addresses previous concerns raised by Peterborough's highways department over parking plots. City council planners will make a decision on the application at a later date.
