Work begins on first homes at major Lincoln development

Construction has begun on the first 52 homes at Charterholme, a new neighbourhood set to reshape the western side of Lincoln.

It marks a key milestone in the city’s largest development in decades, setting the stage for a new community.

Formerly known as the Western Growth Corridor, Charterholme has been over 100 years in the making and is the result of a collaboration between the City of Lincoln Council and local builder Lindum Group.

Over the next 25 years, the project will deliver 3,200 homes, along with shops, a business park, a leisure village, community services and improved transport links.

Rebecca Hurst-Miller, director of Lindum Homes, said: “One at Charterholme will combine thoughtful planning and sustainable principles to create a neighbourhood that benefits both its residents and the wider community. We’re delighted to begin work on the first homes at One at Charterholme. These properties will showcase modern, energy-efficient design, providing residents with
high-quality, comfortable living spaces.

“Work to build a showhome on site is underway and this is set to open in summer 2025.  In the meantime, our Sales Team will be available on-site from February 2025 so please do pop in for more information.”

City of Lincoln Councillor Joshua Wells, portfolio holder for inclusive economic growth, said: “Charterholme is a truly transformative project that will support the sustainable growth of our city for generations to come. This development is not only about providing much-needed housing but also about creating a vibrant, sustainable, and well-connected community.

“We are proud to see this vision take its first tangible steps with the construction of these 52 energy-efficient homes, and we look forward to seeing the wider benefits Charterholme will bring to Lincoln.”
