More than a thousand homes could be built in a new Stamford neighbourhood.
Developers claim the new project will be a “wonderful new neighbourhood” for the town, including a primary school, a shopping centre and two parks.
A total of 1,350 new houses are planned on land between Little Casterton and Ryhall Road.
The application from Savills promises it will be fully integrated with Stamford while providing new community facilities.
The local centre could see a pub, wine bar or hot food takeaways built, along with a two-form primary school and a medical centre.
There will be a strip of green space to the north including two parks.
A small amount of the development will cross the boundary into Rutland, meaning the application will need approval from both councils.
The planning application says: “Stamford North will deliver an innovative, integrated and high-quality addition to the town of Stamford.

“It will be a wonderful new neighbourhood – a thriving place in which to live, work, bring up a family and grow old – a place for all. This new place will be made well, to last.
“Stamford North will be a new neighbourhood for the town, not a separate community: it will be fully integrated with Stamford itself, providing new community facilities such as a primary school, a medical centre and places to gather, eat and drink.
“Designed around two new parks, Stamford North will make a positive contribution to local landscape and nature restoration.”
