Eighty-two Lincolnshire homes get the go-ahead

Chief executive of LACE Housing Nick Chambers

Planning permission has been granted for three new developments by Lincolnshire housing and support service provider LACE Housing.

After securing a £2.6m bid from the government’s Homes and Communities Agency as part of its Shared Ownership and Affordable Homes Programme earlier in the year, the association is set to build new retirement homes in Ingham, Washingborough and Nettleham.

Permission has been granted for 12 one and two-bedroom apartments in Ingham, eight two-bedroom bungalows and 22 two-bedroom apartments in Washingborough, and 14 two-bedroom bungalows and 26 two-bedroom apartments in Nettleham.

The mixture of rented and shared ownership properties is being created in partnership with West Lindsey and North Kesteven district councils, with building work expected to begin later in the year.

Nick Chambers, chief executive of LACE Housing, said: “As we prepare to officially open some brand new accommodation and a holiday apartment in Skegness, we’re excited to get working on our next projects within the county.

“They’ve been in the pipeline for a while now, so we’re really pleased to have reached the next stage; we’re committed to providing quality accommodation and services for Lincolnshire’s ever-increasing older population.

“These new developments will enable more people to remain within the communities they have grown up in and maintain links with their friends and family while enjoying quality facilities.”
