This is the third phase of the new Witham St Hughs settlement, which is based on the site of the former RAF Swinderby airfield.

NKDC’s planning committee unanimously approved the plans, despite a number of rejections from local residents concerned about the impact on local roads and amenities, on the evening of Tuesday, September 13.
