The South Kesteven Council Cabinet meeting on 11 June 2024 covered several key topics, including the deferral of a new housing scheme, the endorsement of a revised local development scheme, and updates on various council initiatives.
Local Development Scheme 2024-2027
The Cabinet endorsed the revised Local Development Scheme 2024-2027. Councillor Phil Dilks, the Cabinet Member for Planning, introduced the item, explaining that the scheme's timetable had been revised to allow for the careful consideration of over 1,500 responses received during the consultation period. The revised scheme aims to ensure that the new local plan is both realistic and achievable, with the next public consultation stage scheduled for winter 2024/25 and submission to the Secretary of State by 30 June 2025. Councillor Dilks emphasised the importance of aligning neighbourhood plans with the revisions to the local plan.
New Build Housing Scheme at Larch Close
The discussion on the new build housing scheme for 21 units at Larch Close was deferred to a future meeting. The deferral was to allow officers to review the value for money assessment and ensure the proposed development meets the latest social housing needs. Councillor Virginia Moran was noted to have wanted to comment but ultimately did not.
Grantham is Open for Business Video
The Council announced the release of a promotional video titled Grantham is Open for Business
to coincide with the ongoing refurbishment of the marketplace. The video aims to encourage people to visit and support local businesses in Grantham Town Centre.
Mallard Pass Solar Farm
An update was provided on the Mallard Pass Solar Farm, noting that the decision, originally expected in mid-June, has been deferred to after 4 July due to the upcoming general election and the need to appoint a new Secretary of State.
Cabinet Forward Plan
The Cabinet reviewed the Forward Plan, noting that it is a live document subject to change. The deferral of the Larch Close housing scheme will be included in the next meeting scheduled for 9 July 2024.
Members Open Questions
No questions were raised by non-cabinet members present at the meeting. The Leader reiterated that questions are welcome at any time and in various formats to ensure transparency and engagement.
The meeting concluded earlier than usual, with the next meeting scheduled for 9 July 2024.
