Plans to build 600 homes and a doctors’ surgery near Spilsby will be unveiled later this week before a planning application is submitted to the council at the end of October.
The proposed Spila Fields development from developers Gin Property (Spilsby) Limited will be on a 35-hectare site to the east of Spilsby. The site is included in East Lindsey District Council’s Local Plan for new housing.
The development will stretch along the eastern boundary of Spilsby between Ashby Road to the north and Halton Road to the south, creating 600 homes of different sizes and tenures.
The site is only accessible by car from the north and south and extends into open countryside, with limited impact on views from the east.
If the soon to be submitted planning application is approved, work will start in the spring/summer of 2021.
East Lindsey District Council recognised the need for more housing inn its 2018 Local Plan and identified the need for a new doctors’ surgery to reach more people and offer wider services.
This aspect has now been approved by the NHS East Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group, which is due to start its own 12-week public consultation.
The consultation will run from October 14 to 23 and people can leave their comments on the website or write to Robert Doughty Consultancy, 32 High St, Helpringham, Sleaford NG34 0RA.

Stuart Robinson, of developers Gin Property (Spilsby) Limited, said: “We are really excited about this scheme and believe it will be transformative both in terms of economic benefits and for people living locally.
“We feel that this is an ideal time to help create an economic boost for Spilsby and East Lindsey. The area’s businesses, amenities and retail outlets need support to thrive and grow.
“And while Spila Fields has been designed with local people in mind, we also recognise the importance of attracting people from outside to choose to live and work in this lovely area and to contribute to its future success.”

A Grimsby man has been remanded after being charged with a new offence.
Andrew Prior (26), of Ross Mews, has been charged with section 47 assault, and non-fatal strangulation – an offence that was brought in at the start of last month.
Non-fatal strangulation was made a specific offence as part of the Domestic Abuse Act. The practice typically involves a perpetrator strangling or intentionally affecting their victim’s ability to breathe in an attempt to control or intimidate them.
Prior has been remanded in custody to appear at court at a later date.
Works to rebuild a sinkhole-plagued road in Holbeach have been hit by further delays.
Announcing three weeks of “extensive” rebuilding works on Boston Road South last week, Lincolnshire County Council had said it expected Anglian Water to be finished by today (Friday, July 1).
However, this morning a spokesperson for the water company confirmed they would need another week.
“Due to the complex nature of putting the lining into the sewer this won’t be completed until the end of next week,” said Anglian Water’s spokesperson.
“We have been in contact with the council to keep them updated on this.”
Lincolnshire County Council’s work includes a full, two-phase, reconstruction of the site – removing any affected substrate and replacing it with a multi-layered material build around the asset that bosses said “will shore-up the area and return it to normal use”.

The first part will take care of the sub-layer of the road and the second part of the rebuild plan will deliver the road surface and markings.
The road will remain closed until the works are completed. However, work cannot begin until Anglian Water is done.
Neighbours recently described the last few years as a “nightmare” and “farcical”. Despite several repair attempts the road continues to cause issues.

Lincolnshire County Council said they are “frustrated” by the latest news but the authority has been carrying out other works in the meantime.
Councillor Richard Davies, executive member for highways said: “It’s unfortunate and frustrating that we can’t get the rebuild underway as planned, but the timing for works such as Anglian Water are undertaking can be lengthened through all sorts of factors.
v“We will get on with the rebuild of the road as soon as possible.
“We, like all of the residents and businesses affected by this, are very keen to return Boston Road South to normal as quickly as we can.
“I would like to thank local residents and businesses for their continued patience as the various elements of this set of works continue.”
