Application site for 36 homes on Boultham Park Road, Lincoln.
Now, a total of six three-bed townhouses, 12 two-bed semi-detached houses and 18 two-bed semi-detached homes will now be built on the site.
Councillor Gary Hewson said the application was the “end of a journey” for the redevelopment of the area.
“This is the end of a long journey which had big public meetings,” he said.
“I am pleased that we have delivered a third application for affordable housing which is a huge bonus to the community.”
Councillor Chris Burke said councillors and officers have worked well to ease concerns about the three applications for the former dairy site.
“It’s an excellent example of community cohesion.” he said.
“I think councillors and officers have moved effectively to reassure residents.
“I feel it’s an excellent development which will improve the area.”
He added that he felt “nothing but positives” about the plans.

Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
