1 The Application Site and its Surroundings
1.1 The application site is located to the south of Grantham town centre and the area known
as Somerby Hill, and to the north of the villages of Little Ponton and Great Ponton. The
landscape to the south of the town comprises the gently sloping valley sides of the River
Witham.
1.2 The principal transport corridors associated with the area comprise: the B1174 Spittlegate
Level, the East Coast Main Line, the A52 Somerby Hill, the B6403 High Dyke and
Whalebone Lane.
1.3 The principal land use is arable agriculture with large fields defined by low, relatively
sparse hedges. The most substantial settlement and development associated with the
area comprises the south eastern fringe of Grantham where there is a mix of residential
development at Somerby Hill, industrial development at the former Invictas Works and the
Prince of William of Gloucester Territorial Army Barracks on the A52. Other development
includes a mix of industrial, commercial and residential land uses on the west side of the
B1174. These comprise car showrooms and service related businesses, a disused
ironstone quarry, the Cheveley Park mobile home park and the Phoenix School. Anglian
Water operates the Saltersford Water Treatment Works immediately adjacent to the river.
There is a residential property, the Daily Mail Cottage, located on Waterworks Lane.
Further south lies the village of Little Ponton where notable buildings include Little Ponton
Hall, the Old School House (Grade II Listed) and the 15th century parish church of St
Guthlac (Grade I Listed). Recreational and leisure interests within the area comprise the
Kesteven Rugby Football club located on the B6403 and a Public Right of Way (Little
Ponton 13/1) that runs parallel to the river.
1.4 Notable areas of planting associated with the area comprise specimen trees, woodland
and scrub planting, hedgerows, hedgerow trees and grassland. To the southeast,
adjacent to Whalebone Lane, is Whalebone Spinney.
1.5 A single Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Woodnook Valley, is located 0.6km
south of the route outside the application site. There are two Sites of Nature Conservation
Interest (SNCIs) located within the River Witham corridor and twenty-one Local Wildlife
Sites (LWS) within the study area. Of these, both the SNCIs and six LWSs would be
within the red line of the proposed scheme.
1.6 A single Scheduled Monument has been identified in the study area of the proposed
scheme, a bowl barrow located 1km south of the route. The barrow could potentially
contain archaeological deposits, including funerary remains.
1.7 The proposed scheme will run adjacent to the southern boundary of the proposed
Spitalgate Heath Garden Village as shown on the adopted Southern Quadrant Masterplan
Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).
2 Relevant Site History
2.1 In total, the Grantham Southern Relief Road (GSRR) will be completed in three phases.
Phase 1 of the GSRR comprised the roundabout at Spittlegate Level and that part of the
road leading towards the A1. It has been completed and is in use. Phase 2 of the GSRR
comprised the A1 junction and slip roads. Construction work is currently underway with an
anticipated completion date in October 2021.
2.2 Planning permission was granted for Phase 3 of the (GSRR) in 2013 (S13/0775). At that
time it was known at the Southern Quadrant Link Road.
2.3 A Non-Material Amendment to the planning permission was granted in July 2015
(S15/1354) comprising changes to the roundabouts at Spittlegate Level and Somerby Hill
resulting in slight variations to the vertical height of the road, a realignment of the access
track to the western SUDS attenuation pond and a minor alteration to the Whalebone
Lane junction.
2.4 A Section 73 Minor Material Amendment to the planning permission was granted in
November 2015 (S15/2101) comprising changes to the design of the bridge and
associated works.
2.5 Applications to discharge a number of conditions attached to the previous planning
permission have been approved (S17/0882 and S20/0473). Further applications to
discharge the remainder of the pre-commencement conditions have been submitted but
not yet determined (S20/0801).
2.6 An outline planning application is under consideration for a Garden Village promoted by
the landowner as Spitalgate Heath (S14/2169). The Planning Committee was minded to
approve the application subject to the completion of a Section 106 planning obligation in
February 2019. The proposals do not seek to gain planning permission for the GSRR
although part of the road is incorporated in the red line of the application and access
would be gained to both east and west parts of the site from the proposed roundabouts.
3 The Proposal
3.1 The application relates to Phase 3 of the GSRR. It comprises a new 3km single
carriageway road from the B1174 Spittlegate Level to the A52 Somerby Hill roundabout.
The approved scheme included embankments and a bridge across the River Witham and
the East Coast Main Line. The bridge would be 18-20m high from existing ground level
and western embankment would be 15m high from its juncture with the bridge. The bridge
would include 1.8m high parapets including a solid steel section across the East Coast
Main Line. The road is designed to operate at a maximum speed of 60mph.
3.2 This application is made under Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 to
vary or remove conditions associated with a planning permission. The current proposal
seeks to remove condition 14 of the planning permission reference S15/2101 which
required the submission and implementation of noise mitigation measures to mitigate the
impact of any significant increases in noise to four properties located on Waterworks Lane.
They comprise three properties sited within the Anglian Water Saltersford Water
Treatment works facility and the Daily Mail Cottage.
3.3 The full wording of the condition is:
“Prior to the commencement of development, or in accordance with the phasing plan
approved under condition 3, a detailed scheme and timetable for the provision of noise
mitigation measures proposed in the Environmental Statement (Mouchel, March 2013)
shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme
shall mitigate any predicted long term increases in noise over 3 dB(A) above baseline
noise levels (LA10,18h), set out in Table 11-8 of the Environmental Statement, for the four
properties located in the vicinity of the Anglian Water Waterworks and Daily Mail Cottage.
The scheme shall include a programme for post-implementation monitoring and
compliance. The development shall be implemented in accordance with the agreed
scheme and timetable and the noise mitigation measures retained thereafter.
Reason: To protect the amenity of local residents in accordance with policy EN1 of the
South Kesteven Core Strategy (2010) and paragraph 123 of the National Planning Policy
Framework (2012).”
3.4 The proposed changes arise from additional, more detailed modelling than was carried out
to inform the original Environmental Statement (ES) accompanying the GSRR proposals.
The ES identified that the three Anglian Water properties would experience a major long
term noise impact while the Daily Mail Cottage would experience a moderate long term
noise impact from the construction of the GSRR. Environmental effects within these
categories are classed as ‘major’ effects in the ES which require mitigation. The proposed
mitigation measures proposed in the ES were the use of low noise surfacing materials or
the erection of acoustic barriers.
3.5 The revised noise reports identify that of the three Anglian Water properties; two are now
used as offices and one is used as a dwelling by an Anglian Water employee. They are
not therefore in an open residential use. The revised noise reports include a more detailed
noise modelling assessment on the Daily Mail cottage than was carried out for the original
planning application. It is on this basis that an application is made to remove the condition.
3.6 If approved, the phase 3 of the GSRR would commence construction in September 2020
and would be completed after an approximately 3 year build programme. As planning
permission has already been granted under S15/2101 some initial site clearance work has
been undertaken.

Policy GR3-H1 - Spitalgate Heath - Garden Village (Southern Quadrant)
5 Southern Quadrant Masterplan Supplementary Planning Document
2013
5.1 The SPD aims to guide future development in the Southern Quadrant sustainable urban
extension in order to produce a distinctive and high quality development. It was adopted in
February 2013.
6 Representations Received
6.1 Environmental Protection Services (SKDC)
6.1.1 No objection to the removal of Condition 14 on the grounds that the most recent modelling
exercise and the expected mitigation provided by future developments which will provide a
noise barrier to anticipated traffic noise impacting on the one residential property identified
in the noise report.
7 Representations as a Result of Publicity
7.1 This application has been advertised in accordance with the Council's Statement of
Community Involvement and one letter commenting on the application has been received
but not stating support or objection to the proposals.
8 Officer Evaluation
8.1 Scope of the Decision
8.1.1 First, Section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 states the Council shall
consider only the question of the conditions subject to which planning permission shall be
granted. In this case, the purpose of the application is to remove condition 14. The
principle of the development has been accepted and approved under the original
permission.
8.1.2 The effect of granting a Section 73 application is the issue of a new planning permission,
sitting alongside the original permission, which remains intact and unamended. Decision
notices for Section 73 applications should also repeat the relevant conditions from the
original permission. A Section 73 application cannot be used to vary the time limit for
implementation therefore the time limit imposed on the original permission must remain
unchanged.
8.1.3 A Section 73 application is considered to be a new application for planning permission
under the Environmental Impact Assessment Regulations 2011. The currently proposed
scheme has been screened under the Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact
Assessment) Regulations 2017 concluding that no Environmental Statement is required
for the proposed removal of condition 14 and the change to the proposed development
that would result.
8.2 Impact on Noise
8.2.1 Policy EN4 states that development which, on its own or cumulatively, would result in
noise or other environmental pollution or harm to amenity, health, well-being or safety will
not be permitted. New development proposals should not have an adverse impact on
existing operations.
8.2.2 Policy DE1 expects that, in promoting high quality design, all new development should
ensure there is no adverse impact on the amenity of neighbouring users in terms of noise
and other matters.
8.2.3 Paragraph 180 of the NPPF states that planning decisions should ensure that new
development is appropriate for its location taking into account the likely effects of pollution
on health, living conditions and the natural environment, as well as the potential sensitivity
of the site or the wider area. It states that decisions should mitigate and reduce to a
minimum potential adverse impacts resulting from noise from new development.
8.2.4 The original ES considered the likely noise impacts of the scheme concluding that only 4
properties were likely to be exposed to major adverse impacts in either the short or long
term as a result of their proximity and direct line of sight to the SQLR. The properties along
the A52 Somerby Hill are likely to experience a decrease in noise levels.
8.2.5 The applicant has carried out further investigation into the use of the three Anglian Water
properties: 1 Waterworks Cottages, 2 Waterworks Cottages and Low Bungalow. It
concluded that only one of these properties (2 Waterworks Cottages) is currently used as
a residence, but for an employee of Anglian Water, with the other two being used for
commercial purposes. These properties are now discounted, in terms of noise impact, in
the consideration of this application as they are not in open residential use. This means
that there is only one residential property significantly affected by traffic noise from the
proposed GSRR.
8.2.6 The outcome of this study concludes that the Daily Mail Cottage currently experiences a
significant amount of ambient noise from traffic on the A1 and B1174 Spittlegate Level.
These levels are above the criteria provided in BS 8233 guidelines for noise in and around
residential dwellings. The revised noise reports show that the proposed GSRR will
increase the short term external noise impact at the Daily Mail Cottage. As this would be
below +5dB, this would lead to a noise increase that would be classed as ‘moderate’ and
not ‘major’ in impact. The long term noise impact would be between +5-10dB which is
classed as ‘moderate’ for this category. In addition, the noise level at the west façade of
the property, which is currently experiencing the highest level of noise; would not change
as a result of the GSRR. The report also examines the distance of the property from the
new road. It would be a distance of 250m away. Given the separation distance and north
east location of the road, the noise report concludes that the wind difference factor is likely
to reduce the level of noise at the south external elevations of the property to an
acceptable level.
8.2.7 The study also examined the internal noise levels at the Daily Mail cottage. It concludes
that the noise levels would be 36.6 dB LAeq,16hr for the most exposed façade of the
property. This will be below the relaxed BS 8233 design criteria by a margin of 3.4dBA in
the short term and by a margin of 1.5dBA in the long term thereby achieving an
acceptable noise level.
8.2.8 For these reasons, it is not considered that the proposed GSRR would have a significantly
adverse impact on the occupants of the Daily Mail Cottage by way of noise.
8.2.9 In addition, the Daily Mail Cottage lies adjacent to the proposed Spitalgate Heath Garden
Village which is allocated for development in the Local Plan and for which a planning
application has been submitted. In the future, if this site is developed, new development
would offer some additional noise mitigation as a barrier between the dwelling and the
GSRR. As planning permission has not been granted for the Garden Village, limited
weight may be attached to this as a source of potential mitigation.
8.2.10 The Council’s Environmental Protection officers advise that on the basis of the additional,
detailed modelling work that has been undertaken that they have no objection to the
proposals. The proposed scheme complies with policies EN4 and DE1 in relation to noise
and section 11 of the NPPF.
9 Section 106 Heads of Terms
9.1 No Section 106 Planning Obligation is provided or necessary in the case of this
application.
10 Crime and Disorder
10.1 The proposed development raises no significant crime and disorder implications.
11 Human Rights Implications
11.1 Articles 6 (Right to fair decision making) and Article 8 (Right to private family life and
home) of the Human Rights Act have been taken into account in making this
recommendation.
11.2 It is considered that no relevant Article of that act will be breached.
12 Conclusion
12.1 It is considered that as it has been demonstrated that the proposed GSRR would not have
an adverse impact by way of noise on the Daily Mail Cottage, the only residential property
identified to be affected by the noise impacts; no noise mitigation measures are
necessary. Condition 14 of the planning permission for the GSRR (S15/2101) can
therefore be removed. As approval of a Section 73 application would result in a new
planning permission, the recommendation is for approval subject to the relevant conditions
relating to the previous permission as set out below.
12.2 RECOMMENDATION: Approve subject to the following conditions.
1 The development hereby permitted shall be commenced before 27 November 2020.
Reason: To comply with Section 91 (as amended) of the Town and Country Planning

Reason: In the interests of the visual amenities of the area and in the interests of the
safety of the users of the public highway.
5 The highways/environmental features at the existing A52 Old Somerby roundabout
shall be reinstated on the new re-sited roundabout in accordance with the scheme
approved by the local planning authority under s20/0473 before the roundabout is
brought into use unless otherwise agreed in writing by the local planning authority.
Reason: In order to ensure satisfactory arrangements are made for the
reinstatement of highways/environmental features at the A52 Old Somerby
roundabout in the interests of landscape quality in accordance with policy EN1 of the
South Kesteven District Council Local Plan (2020).
6 Prior to commencement of use, details of all proposed lighting to be implemented as
part of the development shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local
planning authority. The lighting shall be implemented in accordance with the
approved details before the proposed development is brought into use and retained
thereafter.
Reason: In the interests of highway safety and visual amenity and to minimise the
impacts of light pollution on the local landscape, adjoining land uses and the railway
line in accordance with policies EN1 and EN4 of the South Kesteven District Council
Local Plan (2020) and paragraph 180 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
7 Prior to the commencement of development, a detailed drainage scheme for the
development has been prepared, in accordance with the Grantham SQLR Drainage
Design Strategy, Lincolnshire County Council Highways Alliance (2013), shall be
submitted to and agreed in writing with the local planning authority. The scheme
shall not include infiltration of surface water drainage in Source Protection Zone 1.
The detailed drainage scheme shall include:
i. a timetable for its implementation, and
ii. a management and maintenance plan for the lifetime of the development
which shall include the arrangements for adoption by any public body or
statutory undertaker, or any other arrangements to secure the operation of the
sustainable drainage scheme throughout its lifetime.
Reason: To ensure that surface water run-off from the development will not
adversely increase the risk of flood, to improve and protect water quality, improve
habitat and amenity and ensure future maintenance of the surface water drainage
system in accordance with policy EN5 of the South Kesteven District Council Local
Plan (2020) and Section 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
8 No part of the road shall be brought into use until the detailed drainage scheme
approved under condition 7 has been implemented.
Reason: To ensure that surface water run-off from the development will not
adversely increase the risk of flood, to improve and protect water quality, improve
habitat and amenity and ensure future maintenance of the surface water drainage
system in accordance with policy EN5 of the South Kesteven District Council Local
Plan (2020) and Section 14 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
9 The development shall be carried out in accordance with the method statement for
the maintenance of existing drainage routes across the site approved by the local
planning authority under S20/0473.
Reason: To prevent an increase in the risk of flooding and / or waterlogging on
adjacent land and in accordance with policy EN5 of the South Kesteven District
Council Local Plan (2020).
10 Prior to the commencement of development (including any works of demolition), a
Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) shall be submitted to and
agreed in writing by the local planning authority. The approved CEMP shall include
means of monitoring and compliance and shall be adhered to throughout the
construction phase of the development. As a minimum, the CEMP shall provide for
the following measures, but shall not be restricted to this list:
i. identification of nearest residential properties and a contacts / complaints
procedure
ii. details of hours of working
iii. the parking of vehicles of site operatives and visitors
iv. loading and unloading of plant and materials
v. storage of topsoil, plant and materials used in constructing the development
vi. storage of fuel and refuelling
vii. the construction of screen mounds and fencing around site compounds,
topsoil storage and working areas
viii. monitoring of topsoil resource to ensure correct storage and separation of
soils for re-use
ix. wheel washing facilities
x. measures to control the emission of noise, vibration, dust and dirt during
construction
xi. a scheme for recycling / disposing of waste resulting from demolition and
construction works
xii. further detail on the daily anticipated vehicle movements, means of access
and routing plan for deliveries, construction traffic and movement of
excavated material such that use of B1174 and A52 via Gainsborough Corner
is minimised and that Whalebone Lane (to the south of the proposed
development) is not used at all
xiii. measures to provide adequate signing/warning to highway users of increased
turning movements in and around the points of temporary access
xiv. control and management of arrivals and departures to minimise risk of conflict
or amassing of vehicles at the access and within the limits of the highway
xiii. measures to prevent pollution of the water environment including ground

xiv. construction method statement, a programme of water quality monitoring and
post-construction geomorphological monitoring for construction works in or
near the River Witham
xv. control of lighting
xvi. protection of existing trees, hedgerows and vegetation
xvii. measures to protect protected species (bats, badgers and breeding birds) and
ecologically sensitive areas (SNCI / LWSs, calcareous grassland, hedgerows,
trees and woodland)
xviii. measures to protect archaeological remains
Reason: To ensure appropriate mitigation for the impact on residential amenity,
nature conservation interests and the water environment caused by the construction
phases of the development and to reflect the scale and nature of development
assessed in the submitted Environmental Statement, to accord with the objectives of
the Southern Quadrant Masterplan SPD, policies DE1 and EN2 of the South
Kesteven District Council Local Plan (2020) and Section 15 of the National Planning
Policy Framework.
11 Prior to the commencement of development, a scheme and timetable to restore the
land proposed to be used as work areas, temporary site compounds and topsoil
storage areas, shown on Drawings: Plan and Profile 1059526/01/PLA/001 and
1059526/01/PLA/002, following the end of the construction phase shall be submitted
to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The approved scheme
shall be implemented in accordance with the agreed timetable.
Reason: To ensure the land reverts to its current appearance in the interest of the
amenities of the area in accordance with policy DE1 South Kesteven District Council
Local Plan (2020).
12 Prior to the commencement of development, a detailed method statement and
construction drawings, to include full details of any proposed temporary works in,
under, over or within 9m of the landward edge of the toe of the bank of the River
Witham, designated a 'main river', shall be submitted to and agreed in writing by the
local planning authority. The method statement should take account of modelled
flood levels and extents and ensure that the works are capable of withstanding high
flows without impeding these flows or increasing flood risk. If necessary,
contingency plans should be in place to make the works safe in the event of forecast
flooding. The development shall proceed in accordance with the approved details.
Reason: To ensure the development will not adversely increase the risk of flood in
accordance with policy EN5 of the South Kesteven District Council Local Plan (2020)
and Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
13 Prior to the commencement of development, full details of planting and landscaping
(including planting plans; written specifications; schedules of plants, noting species,
plant sizes and proposed numbers/densities where appropriate; implementation
programme) shall be submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning
authority.
The landscaping scheme shall include new areas of native species rich grassland
mix (including calcareous grassland), new species-rich hedgerow planting and native
broad-leaved tree planting by way of mitigation for the loss of such features through
development as proposed in Table 1.9 of the Supplementary Environmental
Statement (Mouchel, September 2013).
Reason: Landscaping and tree planting contributes to the appearance of a
development and assists in its assimilation with its surroundings. It will mitigate
against the loss of important ecological features caused by the development. The
implementation of the scheme is therefore necessary to create a pleasant
environment and create replacement habitats in accordance with Policies DE1 and
EN1 of the South Kesteven District Council Local Plan (2020) and paragraph 127 of
the National Planning Policy Framework.
14 The landscape works shall be carried out in accordance with the approved details.
All planting, seeding or turfing comprised in the approved detailed of landscaping
shall be carried out in the first planting and seeding season following the completion
of the development or prior to the road being brought into use, whichever is the
sooner. Any trees or plants which within a period of five years from the completion of
the development die, are removed or become seriously damaged or diseased shall
be replaced in the next planting season with others of similar size and species,
unless the local planning authority gives written consent to any variation.
Reason: Soft landscaping and tree planting make an important contribution to the
development, the mitigation against loss of important ecological features and its
assimilation with its surroundings and in accordance with policies DE1 and EN1 of
the South Kesteven District Council Local Plan (2020) and paragraph 127 of the
National Planning Policy Framework.
15 A copy the findings of the archaeological investigation that has been carried out in
accordance with the Written Scheme of Archaeological Investigation approved under
S17/0882 shall be submitted to the local planning authority within 3 months of the
completion of the work.
Reason: To ensure satisfactory arrangements are made for the recording of possible
archaeological remains in accordance with policy EN6 of the South Kesteven District
Council Local Plan (2020) and Section 16 of the National Planning Policy
Framework.
16 No demolition of historic structures shall take place until a record is made of the air
raid shelter (site 63) and the ruined building (site 65) as referenced in the
Environmental Statement (Mouchel, March 2013) and Supplementary Heritage
Assessment (Mouchel, July 2013). The record shall include a measured survey,
written description and photographic record. The information shall be submitted to
the local planning authority for inclusion in the Historic Environment Record for
Lincolnshire.
Reason: In order to record the historical interest of the structures prior to demolition
in accordance with policy EN6 of the South Kesteven District Council Local Plan
(2020) and Section 16 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
