“When Peterborough expanded back in the 70/80s they built a road system to suit the projected requirements FIRST.”

“To clear up a few misconceptions on here - there have been no recorded complaints from the new houses on anchor street re the siemans firth road site - them moving is part of a wider agenda to get a better, all ecompassing site for Siemans. Regardless of the housing market slump, there is still a a need for more housing to meet predicted demand and these houses will be predominantly privately rented by a social landlord at affordable rates. The wider site has permission for and will be built as a mixed use development - mixing the nearly completed innovation centre and hotel with offices to be built at the end of ruston way - the developer for the houses and offices are the same and are committed to building both by legal agreement.

And yes it is a fact that it doeant matter who was there first, you can still complain about noise nuisance - however if James Dawsons are operating as they should in the best practicable means the coun cil cannot take action against them.”

“Noise or no noise, why is there such an obsession with building more and more houses in and around Lincoln? There are many standing empty already and Lincoln's infrastructure just isn't able to cope with the current populace, never mind more. More Council Tax Revenue anyone?”

“It is a fact that you can move into a home, knowing about a problem, and then complain and have the problem removed. No wonder Dawson's were giving a warning of possibly having to close down. Some years back the police dog kennels had to be closed and new ones built at great expence when a 'new' neighbour complained about the dogs barking. They could hardly have failed to see and hear the dogs before they purchased the property but that made no difference.”

“Why would James Dawson and Son be forced to move exactly? Absolute nonsense to suggest this new development would mean they would have to.

I'd like to draw people's attention to a comment following an article on 15th September:

"Having viewed the application, noise reports all state that noise wont be a problem, and even if there are complaints as long as James Dawsons are doing everything they should they wont be asked to do anything by environmental health. The people moving into these houses wil be aware of the neighbouring uses and will have to deal with it. So this development will not force them to move, they have been looking to move for ages and seem to want to blame someone else for it. "”

“Oh great, yet another characterless housing estate being built next to a permanently already congested road, it's about time the planning officers in this county pulled their fingers out and thought about planning before developer profit. looks like I'll have to leave an extra 20 mins earlier for work than i usually do. cheers!”

“'it could be forced to do because of noise complaints from new residents.'

here's an idea then - when the new residents look round these homes they are told there's a factory near by (in case they hadn't noticed) and it might make some noise - if you can't live with that then buy a house somewhere else

what right has someone to move into an area and complain about something that's been there long before them”

“Is anyone going to buy them? bearing in mind that prices are falling and mortgages are hard to come by these days. What's the liklehood that the office park is going to be fully tenanted in what is the worst downturn since the 30's. This development will end up as social housing - I guarantee it. In other major towns many of these vacant speculative developments are being bought by housing associations as there are no buyers out there.”

“Once the housing is complete will the council be widening the foot paths in the area to allow the residents to use them or will they still only be for use as a free student car park.”

“Why does LCC seem to be pushing industry away from the city, are the planning office completely oblivious to the needs of industry. In this current climate, Industry is the only thing that will keep the economy alive, as it had done for many years. It is industry that made Britain.

Firstly they allowed the building the houses opposite Siemens Firth road site, who all complained about the noise contributing to the closure of development testing in Lincoln and the loss of hundreds of jobs, and now they have granted permission for all these houses next to another Lincoln industry, not to mention that unsightly hotel!”
