An 108 home development is expected to get the go-ahead, despite “concerns” from MPs and councillors that it would have a “negative impact” on the town.
Ashwood Homes submitted the plan to South Holland District Council for the development which would be built at Crease Drove.
Councillors have been recommended to approve the plan at a planning committee meeting on June 26.
A total of five one-bedrrom, 29 two-bedroom, 63 three-bedroom and 11 four bedroom homes are included in the proposals.

But, objectors, including South Holland and The Deepings MP, John Hayes, said the plans would be an “overdevelopment”.
Mr Hayes said in a letter to the council that he “remained concerned” about the impact the homes would have on nearby industry, such as Crowland Cranes.
“I have no doubt that, if permission is granted, residents of the new properties will inevitably complain about noise and traffic movements by their industrial neighbours,” he said.

“This could then have a detrimental impact on those business maybe even forcing them to change their working practices.”
Crowland Parish Council had similar concerns and said in a letter to the authority that it was “very concerned” about the impact the site could have on industry.
But developers said in their plans that the site would be an “attractive scheme” and one that would provide a “secure environment for future residents”.

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.
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.
