No housing has been delivered in 2021 as we are at a point where we are considering the need for a new road bridge over the railway which is a requirement of the 2011 planning permission.
The bridge idea was conceived back in the 1980s and may now no longer be needed as traffic relief will come when the Grantham Southern Relief Road (GSRR) opens by
late 2023 / early 2024: all east west traffic on the A52 will be able to avoid Grantham town centre and its three low railway bridges.
During 2022 we will continue to investigate the need for a road bridge and explore if a pedestrian and cycle route across the railway would be a better solution.
During 2022 we will also be taking the opportunity to revisit the Design Brief for the balance of the development, to make sure future development will adopt evolving best practice to enhance ‘place-making’ and the sustainability of the new homes.
We are working closely with the developers of Rectory Farm to the west, Vistry and Jelson Homes, to ensure the two developments will dovetail neatly together, as well as sharing various essential infrastructure facilities and footpath and cycle links between the two projects.
