What does this mean for the Link Road and the rest of Sleaford?
The development of a Neighbourhood Plan (or Plans) for Sleaford came about through the Town Council adopting advice from their Consultants.
A bit late in the day but better late than never as some might say.
It has been registered with the Planning Authority N.K.DC and the plan will only be finally approved when confirmed (not just by N.K.DC) by an independent Planning Inspector. This will be to ensure that it has reached the required standards: if it doesn;'t then recommendations will be made and the Planning Authority will have to consider the Inspectors views.
The story so far is at Neighbourhood Planning.
Many other Councils have gone through this process: not just in N.K.DC but nationwide. Some have been accepted in total but some, because they do not comply with the overall Local Plan through the Central Plan have not been accepted so far.
One issue certainly will be about the access routes into and around Sleaford. Watch this space (or better still the local media).
