DECISION:
To approve the draft Station Approach Development Brief and that it is published for consultation.
Considerations/Reasons for decision:
(1) Report number PLA780 by the Portfolio Holder for Economic Development.
(2) Consideration that the Grantham Development Brief had been approved by the Grantham Growth Strategic Board.
(3) Noting that the Grantham Growth Point team was currently evaluating the acquisition of sites and working with potential partners.
(4) Noting the need for there to be a quality development on the site.
(5) Comments from members of the Cabinet with regard to the need for transport interchange facilities at the station.
Other options considered and assessed:
(1) Do not adopt as SPG - for the reasons set out in section 3.9 of the report, this is not considered to be an appropriate course of action.
(2) Do not undertake consultation – the Council is bound by its adopted SCI to undertake consultation on planning policy documents prior to their adoption. Undertaking public consultation will also minimise the risk of legal challenge to the revised SPG.
