East Lindsey District Council has approved plans to build an “avalanche” of up to 80 homes in Sibsey.
Porch House Limited applied to the authority to develop the land to the rear of Page Close in Sibsey.
The development will include 24 affordable houses and will be accessed from Main Road in the village.
Sibsey Parish Council objected to the plans saying it had a no-development policy in place and that it would not conform to the local plan.
They and around 43 other objectors raised concerns including traffic from the A16, drainage and a negative impact on the village.
Councillor Neil Jones, said: “These plans are more of an avalanche than a windfall.”
He said the development was more than double the allocation than the 34 the local plan suggested and that, at the wrong end of the village, it would create “enormous impact on the village”.
Officers however, said there were no technical obstacles and that the proposal was considered acceptable.
Planning officer Andrew Booth said the land was allocated with the local plan and that there was support for “windfall” developments.
“We appreciate its a sensitive proposal and there are objections but on balance the officer view is that it does accord with policy principles and therefore can be supported,” he said.
Councillors felt that although the development could be seen as “excessive” it would be hard to turn down or fight at appeal.
“It is a lot of houses, but we need a lot of houses,” said Sid Dennis.

We are appealing for witnesses following an alleged robbery at around 2.30pm in North Parade, Grantham yesterday (18 August).
This offence took place in the middle of the afternoon in a busy area, and we believe that there may be people who witnessed this, or may have captured the incident itself or the group of youths in the moments before or after in the surrounding streets.
We are asking our community if they have any CCTV, dashcam, or mobile phone footage they can share which could help with our enquiries. We are particularly keen to hear from any drivers who may have been in North Parade at around 2.30pm who have dashcam.
Officers were called to reports that a teenage boy had been approached by a group of around five youths, all boys or young men, who had demanded he hand over a designer bag. One of the group is then reported to have punched the victim to the head, causing an injury before taking the bag. All five then left the area.
Several of the youths were on bikes, wearing black balaclavas and one is reported to have been wearing a light blue tracksuit.
Officers carried out an immediate search of the surrounding streets, and arrested two people in connection with the offence within 40 minutes of the incident being reported.
The bag taken has been recovered.
A 13-year-old boy and a 18-year-old man arrested on suspicion of robbery have released on police bail while investigations continue.
