More than 100 objections are lodged against the £1m proposals to transform Sleaford's market place.
Plans for a £1m transformation of a town centre market place have been deferred after more than 100 objections were lodged.
North Kesteven District Council proposed replacing a car park outside St Denys' Church in Sleaford with flowerbeds and outdoor seating.Councillors voted to defer the decision at a planning meeting on Tuesday.Two raised beds of plants and new seating areas would be created, with extra space for nearby cafes to put out tables and chairs.
"Each of these disbenefits individually is a big concern but put together they sum up the flaws in these planning proposals which will have a long-term negative, if not fatal impact on the purposes of the marketplace," she said.The square outside St Denys' Church is currently used for parking and the town's market
Speaking after the meeting, Richard Wright, leader of the council, said: "What this does is give us that opportunity to look at where those thoughts are, where the concerns are, and make sure that any scheme that comes back actually addresses those concerns and we get it right." Ken Hanslip, owner of Bellissimo Boutique, said: "The option to send it back for rejigging and improvement is positive.""We really need a good plan for Sleaford, and the opportunity is there to get one," he added.
