PERSIMMON HOMES with CHARLES CHURCH -EXHIBITION
Members of Glinton Parish Council today visited the exhibition held in Glinton village hall to understand and determine the scope of the Peakirk Road development including the potential timesale.
In my recent Tribune article I reported that the draft Peterborough local plan, currently out for consultation, indicated work on this development would begin in 2033/4 at a rate of 25 properties per year. Persimmon were mystified as to where the information, supplied to the City Council, had come from as they would like to begin work in 2028/9 at the rate of 50 homes per year - this being subject to receiving full detailed planning permission and there being sufficient housing demand.
Once a detailed planning application emerges, the parish Council will probably organise a public meeting to obtain feedback from Glinton residents before making a formal response.

Dear village residents, this time of year as vegetation reaches the end of the growing season roses, brambles, Ivy etc. can droop over our footpaths. We have a few people in the village with mobility or vision problems so could you please have a quick look at your garden and trim any vegetation that may cause a hazard. Thank you in anticipation.

PERMISSIVE FOOTPATH AT RISK OF CLOSURE!
The permissive footpath that runs from Peakirk Road (opposite Foxcovert Road) along the Glinton Parish boundary down to South Drain, Glinton remains open solely due to the kindness of a local farmer. Recently thoughless behaviour, particularly by dog owners, has put the permissive footpath’s future at risk.
Full dog poo bags and litter are being dumped on farmland in hedges and trees. Dog owners are increasingly failing to pick up after their pets. It is really difficult to understand why they believe it is acceptable to behave in this way and feel it is equally OK to walk on farmland either side of the permissive footpath.
If you have litter or full dog poo bags either take them home with you or use the litter bin provided on Peakirk Road.
Unless we all keep to the designated path and act responsibly the permissive footpath may close forever.

BREAKING NEWS: Gladman seems to have sold the Peakirk Road development site, with outline planning permission, to Persimmon Homes East Midlands.

Persimmon intend to hold a public exhibition of its draft plans on Tuesday 3rd November in Glinton Village Hall 2:30 - 6:15. In parallel there is an online consultation that end on 10th November (see image below).

We suspect any resident comments may influence the schemes design which will eventually be submitted to the PCC for planning permission.

It is unclear whether the sites build schedule included in the PCC Local Plan, which is currently out for consultation until 13th November, remains valid - start 2033/4 at an initial rate of 25/yr.

Report it Online!
Peterborough City Council provide an online service called ‘Report it Online’ which allows residents to report fly tipping, graffiti and so on.
Recently your parish council highlighted numerous pieces of graffiti throughout Glinton using the service and the very next day the PCC team were out dealing with it - very impressive!
They will only deal with graffiti and fly tipping on PCC property, other locations need to be reported to other providers such as Open Reach, City Fibre, Environmental Agency etc. Irrespective of this we urge you to report everything because this enables the PCC builds a picture of issues impacting Glinton that can then be rapidily actioned.
