The Church Commissioners for England has received planning consent for a new mixed-use community in Bracebridge Heath, Lincoln.
The proposals include the creation of 1,087 homes – 20% of which will be affordable – featuring a mix of bungalows and two- and three-storey houses.
The 44-hectare site, which is located three miles south of Lincoln, will include local community infrastructure for new and existing residents, a purpose-built residential care home and a new employment area. A new ‘mobility hub’ will also offer sustainable transport options.
Matthew Naylor, strategic land principal manager at the Church Commissioners for England, said: “Our plans for Bracebridge Heath will create a vibrant new community in the Lincoln area, in line with the vision set out in the local plan for new high-quality places to live. Retirement housing will provide much-needed places for seniors to live, while a new mobility hub will give residents sustainable transport options that encourage connectivity both within Bracebridge Heath and across Lincoln.”
