Larkfleet proposes new sustainable housing at Grantham North
Larkfleet Homes and HPC Homes held a public exhibition at Shepherd Room in the Methodist Church, Finkin Street, Grantham on Friday 18th September announcing a new development at Grantham North.
Subject to planning approvals, the development will provide 1,300 new homes, including affordable homes for local people and retirement and care homes.
Plans also include the creation of parks and open spaces, education provision, shops, a community centre and medical facilities, as well as play areas for children. New bus routes and enhanced bus services could also be provided.
The mission of Larkfleet and HPC is to support the development of a sustainable local community. Grantham North will be a low carbon development using energy saving construction techniques and renewable energy technology.
The proposed development is in line with South Kesteven District Council’s core strategy, which suggests that any new development should mainly be focused on Grantham and requires the provision of around 7,000 new homes.
To achieve this level of growth within Grantham it will be necessary both to use previously developed land and to identify new greenfield sites. The land at Grantham North has previously been identified by the council as a location that is capable of contributing towards the planned growth of the town.
Larkfleet Homes and its partner HPC Homes are established regional developers with a track record of delivering new homes and commercial buildings within the East Midlands. They are committed to building safe, inclusive and sustainable developments that integrate into existing communities.
Larkfleet spokesman Paul Bywater said: “We would welcome comments and suggestions on the proposed development at the public exhibition on 18 September. Obviously we want to consider any comments that people may have before finalising the development proposals for submission as a formal planning application.”
