a. Examiner’s Clarification Note
Having been proposed (MF) and seconded (BF), it was RESOLVED:
To recommend the following response to the Examiner’s Clarification Note to Full Council:
• Policy 1 - To include cross-reference to the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan (CLLP), as suggested.
• Policy 2 (Land off Sykes Lane) - To consolidate the policy approach so that it aligns with the adopted CLLP allocation (Policy WL/SAXI/004), while retaining locally specific criteria (I, J, L) to address community impacts.
• Policy 3 (Design) - To move the third section of the policy (application detail requirements) into supporting text, as it is not necessary within policy wording.
• Policy 6 (Community Facilities) - To support recasting the policy so that it clearly identifies community facilities to which Local Plan policies would apply.
• Policy 7 (Employment Sites) - To amend wording from “must” to “should” in the third part of the policy to improve deliverability and reflect practical implementation considerations.
• Policy 11 (Waterfront Area) - Noted as a positive and appropriate regeneration policy; no amendment proposed.
• Policy 15 (Local Green Spaces) - Noted as consistent with NPPF requirements and appropriately evidenced; no amendment proposed.
