Plans for new homes resubmitted after refusal

Fresh plans have been submitted to a council for 24 new homes after an initial application was refused.

The housing development, put forward by Rutland-based developer Hereward Homes Ltd, would be located on land in Glinton.

The initial application for 24 new houses at the site were submitted to Peterborough City Council in December and were later refused by planners in February.

According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, planners at the council argued that the development would result in an "unacceptable erosion" of the eastern boundary of the village.

The new homes would be located on agricultural land next to Peakirk Road in Glinton.

Planners added that the proposed homes were also considered to "appear alien and incongruous within the street scene," according to the Local Democratic Reporting Service.

Addressing the previous reasons for refusal in its new planning application, the applicant stated: "Glinton as a sustainable community close to the edge of Peterborough city is a suitable location in principle for the location of extra homes."

The latest planning application argues that the proposed development "demonstrates a high quality of design" appropriate to the character of the village.

It also addresses previous concerns raised by Peterborough's highways department over parking plots.

City council planners will make a decision on the application at a later date.
