Have a say on Stamford North homes development through public consultation at Borderville and Stamford Town Hall
People are about to be asked for their views on a second major housing development along the northern edge of Stamford.
Hot on the heels of Larkfleet's controversial Quarry Farm proposal, which could see about 650 properties built to the west of Little Casterton Road, 'Stamford North' earmarks an area immediately to its east, stretching across to Ryhall Road.
It could also bring 650 homes, making the total for the developments north of Stamford about 1,300.
The Stamford North proposal is being led by Burghley House Preservation Trust, which has set up a website for the development at www.stamfordnorth.com.
On the website it says: "Our aspiration for Stamford North is to establish a thriving and sustainable new community that Stamford will be proud to call its own.
"Through landscape-led design and thoughtful architecture, we aim to create a place that over time becomes part of the historic town of Stamford."
People's feedback on the Stamford North plan is being sought through a consultation starting a week tomorrow (Saturday, July 2).
During that day, people can read information and see visualisations of what is proposed through a display at Borderville Sports Centre off Ryhall Road in Stamford. This will be open from 10am to 3pm and representatives of the developer will be there.
A second, similar consultation event will follow at Stamford Town Hall in St Mary's Hill on Tuesday, July 5, from 2pm to 7pm.
Those unable to attend either of the exhibitions will be invited to look at the displays online at www.stamfordnorth.com, where there will also be instructions on how to give feedback.
Burghley House Preservation Trust has appointed GummerLeathes as the developer of the site. Its single-page website with no contact details, images or previous projects listed says: "We transform largescale landholdings into beautiful and sustainable new communities that thrive from one generation to the next."
It is understood that one of the partners of GummerLeathes is former Tory MP for Ipswich, Ben Gummer.
