Application for 550 homes at lakeside development
Plans for 550 homes to be built as part of the Lincolnshire Lakes village scheme west of Scunthorpe have been submitted to North Lincolnshire Council.
The project by applicants Hargreaves Land Limited includes a GP surgery with pharmacy, a small nursery and a food shop.
Included in the plans are landscaping and habitat areas created to support water voles.
The scheme is part of the wider redevelopment of the area, which includes plans to create a series of new villages in one of the largest housing projects in the UK, according to the council.
Planning permission for the Lincolnshire Lakes scheme was first granted in 2016.
The development is expected to create 6,000 new homes and a business park, set around artificially created lakes connected by water channels.
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the proposals for the site named Village One are on land east of the A1077(M), north of Brumby Common Lane.
Permission is being sought for a new road off the M181/A1077(M) roundabout and a pedestrian and cycle link to Scotter Road.
Other developments at Lincolnshire Lakes are at various stages of the planning process and include:
1,200 homes at land west of Scotter Road South, Bottesford, submitted by Gleeson Homes
599 of a 1,188 home village linked to the Burringham Bypass, submitted by Keepmoat Homes
2,500 homes, village centre, medical facilities and a primary school north of where the M180 meets the M181, submitted by Keepmoat Homes
81 homes off Scotter Road South, near to Silica Lodge Garden Centre, submitted by Gleeson Homes

New road plans to be examined at public enquiry
A public inquiry is to be held into plans to build the North Hykeham relief road near Lincoln. The new road would link the A46 with the Lincoln Eastern Bypass, completing the ring road network around the city. At the enquiry, proposals will be put before an independent planning inspector who will hear evidence before deciding if Lincolnshire County Council can purchase land and gain access to other sites. Those objecting to having their land used or purchased will have the opportunity to put forward arguments. The inquiry starts on 1 July at the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in Lincoln and is due to last two weeks. Objections to the new road have been received from agricultural landowners, businesses and statutory bodies, according to the council. Councillor Michael Cheyne, executive member for highways, said: "Despite an inquiry being required, we are continuing to progress with the scheme with the intention of starting construction works later this year. "This scheme is essential to supporting the growth of the area and keeping the county moving, so I look forward to seeing work commence soon." According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the majority of funding towards the project has yet to be confirmed. The new Reform UK administration has confirmed that it will keep the county council's commitment to providing the remaining £90m. If construction starts on time, the road is expected to be opened by late 2028.

Development partner sought for listed building
A Grade II* listed building could be transferred to a housing developer after original plans to transform the site failed. Kirklees Council had earmarked Estate Buildings, near the George Hotel and railway station in Huddersfield, for housing. Government cash of £1.25m was secured for enabling works and the council had entered into an agreement with Thirteen Group to deliver social housing at the site. However, the housing provider has since withdrawn from the scheme due to risk within the sector, leaving the council looking for alternatives. The council has acknowledged that it would be "very challenging" and expensive for a developer to convert the building but hoped to reduce costs and make it a "more attractive" opportunity through government cash. Estate Buildings dates back to the late 1800s and was designed by Huddersfield architect W.H Crossland. The entrance hall, staircase and first-floor waiting rooms feature wall panelling, decorative stained glass and intricately carved fireplaces. The council said many of the features would be retained through any redevelopment. The agreement with the Thirteen Group would have also involved developing Somerset Buildings on Byram Street and, once completed, the group could have purchased the building at market value. The council now wants to appoint a development partner who would enter into a building lease with the council and take on the freehold for Estate Buildings once construction was complete. The move would generate additional council tax of up to £95,000 per year and some savings by reducing the costs associated with holding the building, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service. In 2023-24, the council spent £29,000 on gas, electric, intruder and fire alarms and rodent controls at Estate Buildings. A decision on whether to proceed with the new approach will be made by the council's cabinet on Tuesday. If the council is not in a contract to deliver homes by 31 March 2028, some or all of the £1.25m government grant would have to be repaid.
