Number of Dwellings
Saxilby with Ingleby parish has 151 dwellings allocated within the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan on two allocated sites. This proposed development would take the number of dwellings over the allocated amount within the Local Plan. The level of housing growth in Saxilby means that there will be a good mix of new homes to help meet current and future local needs as identified within a recent Housing Needs Assessment. Any further residential development will only be limited to smaller sites (of sites of 10 or less units) in line with Policy LP4 of the Local Plan.
Numbers of newly built or planned over 55s development
Recent developments at Church Lane have contributed positively towards accommodation for over 55s and older people with over 72 units built or planned.
Impact/infrastructure
The rapid rate of recent growth in Saxilby over the past few years has meant that local infrastructure such as the roads, sewers, education and health are oversubscribed. The junction with the A57 is at capacity and any further larger scale development is likely to lead to further traffic problems. Highway mitigation in the area is likely to be needed in the future. Consultation with residents has raised such issues and any further development at this scale would likely not be supported by the community.
The proposed location of such development is away from key services and transport facilities, meaning that accessibility for older people will be more difficult and reliance on a car will increase.
At this stage, there is no evidence that any additional development for older people is required beyond the proposed allocations in the Local Plan. These two sites will provide additional units for this demographic and are likely to provide further infrastructure to support growth.
Therefore, the parish council does not support any further large-scale development within or on the edge of the village.
