Developers want to transform a field near Lincoln into a campsite with caravans and glamping pods.
The proposals submitted by R & B.L. Brewer would see the new site built on land at Rushfield Lakes, on the north side of Station Road in Potterhanworth.
If approved, the current farm land would be transformed into a campsite including:
32 touring caravans
13 static carvans/mobile units
12 glamping pods
5 ‘hobbit hut’ glamping pods
Access tracks/paths and 89 parking spaces
Amenity block/cafe
In the north-west corner of the 16.3Ha site, ‘hobbit hut’ glamping pods and the touring caravans have been proposed, with the ‘traditional’ glamping pods and the static caravans at the north end of the site.
The amenity and café block would be located in the centre of the site. All facilities are spread around the existing lakes.
Subject to planning permission, developers aim to open the new site within 18 months.
Origin Design Studio Ltd, on behalf of R & B.L. Brewer, said in the application: “The development is expected to attract existing users of the site and new users from further afield in Lincolnshire, Nottingham and the East Midlands who wish to enjoy and explore the Lincolnshire landscape and/or lakes.”
The planning committee at North Kesteven District Council will discuss plans at a later date.

A senior lecturer recently celebrated the news that East Midlands Railway will increase its train capacity on what he felt was an “overcrowded” service between Lincoln and Leicester.
Amir Badiee lives in Loughborough and for the past seven years has been commuting to his job at the University of Lincoln, but over the last two years he believes the train service has got worse. When he complained back in March he said he didn’t receive any response, but he believes his recent concerns aired in The Lincolnite helped to prompt a positive outcome.
Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
