PLANS have been submitted for a major housing developmen­t in a Lincolnshi­re town.

Housebuild­er, Gleeson Homes, says the developmen­t would be the largest of its kind in the company’s history if all goes ahead.

Located in Spilsby, the site would feature a range of two, three and four bedroom homes developed by Cyden Homes. It is expected to deliver an array of public open space allowing for a nature zone, outdoor walking trail, and play area.

Full planning permission for a new medical centre has already been granted on the site, which is expected to be progressed alongside the developmen­t.

Gleeson also has plans in place to complete safety improvemen­ts to roads and footpaths around Spilsby Town Centre, as well as contributi­ons towards local education and sports facilities.

Mark Knight, chief executive of Gleeson Homes, said: “We are delighted to have secured a site of this scale, being our largest ever in Lincolnshi­re, and one of the highest unit developmen­ts in Gleeson’s history.

“This is a great site, overlookin­g the stunning Lincolnshi­re Wolds scenery with fantastic access to the local town and nearby coastline.

“I would like to thank the team for their hard work on this, and ultimately ensuring we can deliver high-quality affordable housing for the local community.

“This is a significan­t site for Gleeson, and a sign of things to come as we continue to deliver on the strategic initiative­s set out at our 2023 Capital Markets Day.”

James Hagerup, sales director of Cyden Homes, added: “As the area’s premier regional builder, we are looking forward to working with Gleeson Homes to help deliver high quality new homes in Spilsby. We strongly support the use of local contractor­s and suppliers and are happy to be working with partners on this project who share our values.”
