PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

 

Residents from Burton Waters attended to raise their concerns over planning application 145475 for 66 Dwellings off Woodcock Lane

 

The residents concerns were that the proposed development was not in keeping with the design of the lodge development. They were more in keeping with the “other side” of the Burton Waters development and differed markedly from the original plan. This was for extra care beds which were largely single storey and aimed at elderly people. The current lodge development is for over 55’s , the new proposal is for family homes. There are no facilities for families. The wildlife is abundant and this development will uproot hedgerows and trees. There are no amenities at Burton Waters. There are concerns over drainage and surface water. Residents were advised to respond directly to WLDC as the decision making body. The Parish Council agreed to undertake a site visit prior to submitting a response to West Lindsey District Council.
