The authority’s planning committee have been recommended to approve the proposal at a meeting next week.
How the new John Fielding School would look on Kitwood Road in Boston.
In its plans, the county council said expanding the existing school was “not an option”.
“The school would replace the existing Boston John Fielding School which has become overcrowded and whose facilities are out of date to meet modern day needs.
“Redeveloping and expanding the existing school is not considered an option and so it is proposed to build a new school which would not only replace existing provision but also offer expanded and improved facilities to meet an identified demand.”
As part of the proposal, the new school would be built on an area of green space on Kitwood Road.
How the school may be laid out.
The authority said the new build would create 142 places for students.
It would include:
12 places for children with profound and multiple learning difficulties
88 spaces for students with severe or moderate learning difficulties
42 places for students with autistic-spectrum disorder
The school would also hire an extra 80 staff members, taking the total staff to 137.
73 car parking spaces would be provided, including four accessible spaces and three electric car charging bays.
However, Sport England have objected to the plan over loss of playing field space at the site.
The county council said discussions are ongoing with Sport England over the objection, including proposals for a community use arrangement.
Should the objection still be in place and the plan be approved, the development would be referred to the Secretary of State for a final decision.
If given the go-ahead, county council officials hope to open the school in September 2021.
Councillors will discuss the plan at a planning meeting on November 4.

A snack bar in Lincoln has been told to make improvements in several areas after being given a one-star food hygiene rating.
Monks Road Snack Bar, located on 23 Monks Road, was visited by city council inspectors on May 25, 2022 and the rating was recently published on the Food Standards Agency’s website.
The standards found at the time of inspection showed that improvement was necessary in the areas of ‘hygienic food handling’ and the ‘Cleanliness and condition of facilities and building’.
It was also deemed that there was “major improvement necessary” relating to the ‘Management of food safety’.
Monks Road Snack Bar was previously given five-star ratings in June 2016 and September 2018.
The Lincolnite tried to contact the business on numerous occasions throughout the day on Friday, July 1 but the line was continuously engaged.
