City planners approved an outline planning application for 13 eco-friendly homes in Lincoln, on land near Albion Close off Long Leys Road.
The 13 green properties will use solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, quality insulation and triple-glazed windows.
The properties will consist of three and four bedroom detached houses.
“This will be the first development in Lincoln to be built at Level 5 of the Code for Sustainable Homes,” explained Tony Lawton, Managing Director at Lindum Homes.
This is a level of sustainability which has not been achieved in any other residential development constructed within the city.
“We are delighted that the Planning Committee approved our application for 13 new homes to be built off Long Leys Road in Lincoln and are looking forward to our Lindum Homes build team starting work on site early in the new year.”
The site has previously been the subject of two refusals for residential development in 1979 and 1982.
Despite a number of objections from nearby residents, City of Lincoln Council planners believe this would be a high quality, sustainable development which meets planning and other policy objectives [PDF report].
The loss of amenity space to allow access to the site will also be compensated by additional open space proposed as part of the development.

Corporal Phil Dye said he has had the “privilege of taking videos and photographs from the backseat of the Red Arrows Hawk T1 aircraft” for just over a year in his role as Visual Communicator for the Red Arrows.
While incidents in local games may be rare, the voices of three referees in Lincolnshire underline a stark reality — the need for more action and enhanced education.
The issue is very topical this week after Tom Foley’s decision to step away from international match officiating for the foreseeable future after a “torrent of criticism and abuse,” but will continue to officiate in the Premiership.
