Green light for Sleaford housing scheme
Plans for a development of 235 houses in Sleaford have been given the green light.
Planning consultancy Boyer has achieved consent on behalf of Taylor Wimpey East Midlands for the scheme on land at Stump Cross Hill, Handley Chase.
The 6.4 hectare site will form part of a new community also known as Sleaford South Quadrant Sustainable Urban Extension, which, when complete, will deliver 1450 new homes in a variety of styles and sizes, including both affordable housing and homes for private sale.
It will also include two form entry primary school, care home, a local centre comprising of retail units and offices, a health centre, a community centre, a public house, a nursery, public open space, sports pitches, and allotments.
Raj Bains, senior planner in Boyer’s Midlands led on the project and worked with North Kesteven District Council.
Lee Padimore, senior design and planning manager of Taylor Wimpey East Midlands, said: “Handley Chase is a Sustainable Urban Extension, which prioritises sustainable transport (specifically walking and cycling), a sense of community and ‘green’ living. As such it is one we are pleased to be part of, which integrates well within the existing settlement. We look forward to creating much-needed homes in this increasingly popular location and seeing a vibrant community come to fruition.”
Work is due to start on site from May.
