Developer starts on Lincs residential development

Developer Wheatcroft Land has started work on 14 new homes in the Lincolnshire village of Ancaster.

The new residential development, which is due to complete in summer 2019, will see a 1.1 acre plot – which formerly housed a repair garage – transformed into new two and three bedroom family homes.

Director of Wheatcroft Land Catherine Haward said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be starting on site. The first phase of this £3 million mixed use development involved demolition of the old buildings, site remediation and construction of the convenience store, which is now a thriving Co-op. We’re really excited to see this next phase take shape, providing much needed new homes in this lovely village.”

Wheatcroft Land gained planning permission for the housing development last December, following purchase of the site in 2015, which had previously remained unused for several years.

Gelder Group is building the houses.
