Three applications have been submitted for over 450 new homes to be built on the Ermine
City of Lincoln Council’s planning committee will discuss three applications which would see over 450 new homes built in Lincoln.
The applications to the council would see homes built on land including formally occupied by a power station and an infant school.
A decision will be made on all plans at a meeting on Wednesday, March 8.
330 homes on former power station site
The plans, submitted by Westleigh Partnership Limited, would see a maximum of 330 new homes built on the former East Midlands Electricity Board Site on Spa Road.
Between 1945 and circa 2005 the site comprised a coal power station, however the station was closed and decommissioned between 2006 and 2015, with the majority of the buildings cleared.
The site itself is mostly vacant, predominantly comprising of land filled with a mix of trees, bushes and grassed areas.
There are a handful of buildings, mainly to the central part of the site, which are understood to be mostly redundant and vacant, however, at the time of inspection one of the buildings was occupied by a local business.
It has been recommended that the application is granted subject to a number of planning conditions.
88 homes at Ingleby Crescent
The plans, submitted by City of Lincoln Council, would see 88 homes built in the Ermine East area to the north of the city in an area of land stretching eastwards from Riseholme Road alongside and to the south of the A46 and to the north of two crescent developments of housing.
The majority of the site is occupied by a substantial earth bund but there are also former and existing garage blocks at Ingleby Crescent and Welton Gardens respectively.
The architecture of the proposed homes is similar to that proposed to be used for the application also being considered by the planning committee for 39 dwellings on the Former Ermine Primary School.
The council’s planning committee are recommended to defer permission until a planning manager has finalised the planning conditions.

Plans for 39 new homes on a former Ermine school site
The plans, submitted by Andy Parker, would see 39 new homes built on the former Ermine Infant School that takes access from Thoresway Drive and borders the playing fields associated with the Ermine Junior School.
The proposed designs have been deliberately designed to pick up on the detailing of the existing dwellings within the context with the introduction of external projecting framing to the window openings.

However, the materials have a slightly more modern twist to them.

The 32-year-old man and 30-year-old woman arrested in the murder probe of an 11-year-old boy in Lincoln have both been released on police bail, without any charges.
The man was arrested on suspicion of murder and the woman on suspicion of manslaughter after an incident at a house on Geneva Street on St Giles in Lincoln.
Police were called to the house at 10pm on Friday night, January 22.
The 11-year-old boy was found unwell at the scene and was taken to hospital for treatment.
He was pronounced dead a short time later.
At the time Lincolnshire Police said the death was unexplained and it was treated as murder.
The man and the woman arrested at the weekend were released on police bail on Monday evening.
Lincolnshire Police said in a statement on Monday night:
“Once again, we’d like to remind people that this is an active investigation and that an 11-year-old boy has sadly lost his life.
“Speculative comments are not only deeply upsetting to those involved but can potentially undermine our investigation.
“If you have any information that can help, call 101 or email [email protected] quoting incident 472 of January 22.”
Ten people from Boston have been given fines for breaching COVID-19 regulations by driving dangerously in supermarket car parks.
Officers were called after three separate reports of dangerous driving in the car parks of Lidl and Tesco in Wyberton Fen, as well as on Marsh Lane Industrial Estate in Boston.
All three incidents took place and were reported to police between 5pm and 6pm on Sunday, January 24, though it is unsure if they were connected at all.
When officers arrived, the drivers were seen doing donut manoeuvres and racing in the snow.
A total of 10 people were given £200 fines for breaking lockdown guidelines, but this will be reduced to £100 if paid within 14 days, due to all being first time offenders.
As well as the COVID-19 fines, two of the vehicles were also seized as a result of being uninsured, with drivers reported.
A traffic offence report was also submitted after one driver was seen to be driving not just dangerously but out of control.
Inspector Fran Harrod of Lincolnshire Police said: “We would like to thank the public for bringing these incidents of dangerous driving to our attention.
“This is not only extremely dangerous to those taking part but to others in these areas.
“While we continue to engage and explain with the public, this was a blatant breach of the restrictions which will not be tolerated.”
