Syd Smith, Clerk to Helpston Parish Council

In 2016 the owners of this land offered it for housing in response to Peterborough City Council’s request for sites to include in their Local Plan which was being drawn up to meet the Government imposed national house building targets. It was one site of seven that local landowners offered. All were opposed by Helpston Parish Council but this one was accepted by the City. It was later mysteriously combined with part of another site offered off West Street ….. and became known as LP41.5

Since issue of the BDW flyer, Helpston Parish Council has met with BDW to discuss their proposals. The Parish Council is not satisfied with their proposals for the following reasons …  Policy LP42 in the Local Plan says that this new site must only be developed after a “...comprehensive masterplan has been drawn up and that there should be a high level of engagement with stakeholders including the local community” The flyer from BDW covers only part of LP41.5 and so it is definitely not a MASTERPLAN and is not compliant with Policy LP42. There has been no plan to include the extra additional site so their proposal is piecemeal and the whole site would be a hotchpotch of designs and layouts. Their ENGAGEMENT with the local community is limited to the one display of information at the Village Hall as described in their flyer … and that will be considered as their having met the Policy 42 requirements.  Policy LP42 in the Local Plan decrees that the scheme should be “….residential led and with open space provision”. Their proposal offers nothing like the space needed for an airy, open rural development that this village might prefer. This links with the our next point below.  Policy LP42 requires them to “Ensure the provision of satisfactory education facilities. If the need for additional provision is identified, the presumption is that land within the site will be utilised to allow the expansion of the existing school”.

This proposal does not address that criteria at all. Helpston PC wanted an extension to the School Field into the new site, preferably along the back of the West Street properties so that the school might use this extra land as directed by LP42. The proposed BDW scheme completely landlocks the school field and prevents any expansion ... for ever. And, we point out, this is a dual-use field anyway … it is the only play area available for general public use as well as school use in our village. With extra homes here it will be inadequate in size.  Policy LP42 calls for a “Transport Assessment to demonstrate that the quantity of homes is deliverable and anticipates that the scale would be for up to 82 dwellings”. This echoes the “indicative dwellings” number of 82 shown in the LP41.5 site reference ... but that is for the WHOLE of LP41.5, not just the single piece that BDW is after.

BDW originally proposed 115 houses on all of LP 41.5 … now they talk of 80 on their bit alone. This is an unacceptable density when their part of the site is, based on the indicative policy, only capable of taking 57. In any case the volume of new properties is far too high for our classification as a Medium Village in the Local Plan.

These are just four of the major points with which we can criticise BDW’s proposal. Hopefully residents will make known their own objections direct to BDW direct at every opportunity.

So, Helpston Parish Council has encouraged all parishioners to attend the BDW presentation to say what they think about BDW’s proposals because …. it is their only opportunity to influence BDW before they make a full Planning Application to City.

Hopefully a full turn-out of parishioners is achieved. And also, do please remember to look out for their actual Planning Application submission to City Council because that is your next opportunity to persuade the City Council to reflect upon what you have already told the developer.

You can also view all Planning Applications submitted to us over the last 12 months and also view our meeting minutes. This website is our formal platform for communicating information and legal notifications and is used alongside the Parish Council Noticeboard (at the Shop) and Facebook and The Tribune.

The Parish Council published flyer summarised and highlighted these points …. we hope that you agree because your support is always welcome.
