23/00412/OUT | Outline permission for demolition of all buildings and construction of up to 650 dwellings with associated open space and infrastructure, with access secured and all other matters (appearance, landscaping, layout and scale) reserved. This application is accompanied by an Environmental Statement. | East Of England Showground Oundle Road Alwalton Peterborough PE2 6XE

From the Planning meeting of 15/10/24 the Planning Committee resolution is as follows:

The Committee RESOLVED (For 6, Against 3, Abstention 1) to REFUSE the planning permission for the reasons set out below.

REASONS FOR DECISION

By virtue of the loss of the Showground and Speedway track, together with a quantum of dwellings which cumulatively would significantly exceed the allocated 650 dwellings on the Showground site, the proposed development was contrary to Policies LP30 and LP36 and para 103 of the NPPF, and there were no other material considerations, including the NPPF “tilted balance” that carried such weight as to outweigh the conflict with the Development Plan.

We don’t think it could be clearer. . . . .
