1,350 homes could be built in a new Stamford/Rutland neighbourhood, proposed for land between Little Casterton and Ryhall Road.

Developers claim that the new project will be a "wonderful new neighbourhood" for the town, including a primary school, a shopping centre and two parks.

The application from Savills promises that the development, if accepted, will be fully integrated with Stamford while providing new community facilities.

The local centre could see a pub, wine bar or hot food takeaways built, along with a two-form primary school and a medical centre.

There will be a strip of green space to the north of the build, including two parks.

A small amount of the development will cross the boundary into Rutland, meaning the application will need approval from both councils.

The planning application says: "Stamford North will deliver an innovative, integrated and high-quality addition to the town of Stamford.

"It will be a wonderful new neighbourhood – a thriving place in which to live, work, bring up a family and grow old – a place for all. This new place will be made well, to last. 

"Stamford North will be a new neighbourhood for the town, not a separate community: it will be fully integrated with Stamford itself, providing new community facilities such as a primary school, a medical centre and places to gather, eat and drink. 

"Designed around two new parks, Stamford North will make a positive contribution to local landscape and nature restoration."

The South Kesteven District Council had previously expressed caution about a neighbouring Stamford North proposed development.

They wanted to see more proof that the nearby Quarry Farm development wouldn't impact on Stamford's transport and environment. 

Plans are now on South Kesteven District Council's website to view and comment on.

The planning committee will rule on them at a later date.
