A 144-home development in South Hykeham could bring in nearly £400,000 for education, health and recreation if approved next week.
The outline plans, by Taylor Lindsey and Pennells Holdings for land at Thorpe Lane, will be examined by members of North Kesteven District Council’s planning committee on Tuesday.
Officers are recommending approval but are asking for 25% (36) affordable homes, and £397,735 in developers’ contributions.
In their report, the officers state the development is located in an area which is a primary focus for delivering sustainable growth.
They say it “will not lead to severe impact in terms of highway safety or capacity” and will “avoid undue harm to the surrounding landscape”.
They conclude: “The proposals therefore comprise a sustainable form of development striking an appropriate balance in the delivery of social, economic and environmental objectives enshrined within [local and national policies].”
The outline layout for the site.
The 5.17 hectare site sits along the A46 Lincoln Bypass.
It will include 12 one bed apartments, 25 two-bed semi-detached, 30 three-bed semi-detached, 36 three-bed detached and 41 four-bed detached homes.
According to the report 12 objections have been received, along with one more raising “concerns”.
The objections include the lack of infrastructure, harm to the character of the area, traffic and safety issues on Newark Road and Thorpe Lane and access to nearby facilities.
No objections have been received from statutory consultees.
The contributions break down to:
£304,463/£11,276.44 per primary school place for the provision of 27 Primary School spaces at South Hykeham Community Primary School
£61,272 towards improved healthcare provision in North Hykeham
£32,000 for the provision and/or maintenance of additional off-site public open space/community/recreation provision in North Hykeham/South Hykeham

A Lincoln resident is frustrated with vehicles parking on single yellow lines on Lincoln High Street, while the county council says the current regulation order means it’s unable to enforce the area properly, despite signage saying cars cannot park there.
Richard Bridgen has been living off Riverside Drive in Lincoln for around five years now, and over recent months he has noticed a particular trend around parking on a section of the High Street, which can impede his view as he tries to turn from Gaunt Street.
Lincoln residents in the Boultham area have become increasingly hesitant to report crime, citing concerns that the shortage in police staffing will lead to a lack of response.
Lincolnshire County Councillor Kevin Clarke (Labour) reports being contacted by multiple residents in the last few months who have suffered break-ins at their homes or gardens. Despite these incidents, they claim to have received minimal support from Lincolnshire Police.
