A proposal has been lodged with East Lindsey District Council for a new residential development of up to 200 homes on land east of Lincoln Road in Horncastle.
The application, submitted by ADAS Land and Development, covers a site that includes horticultural land currently used by W Crowder & Sons Ltd and Horncastle Garden Centre, as well as agricultural buildings forming part of Milestone Farm.
Plans outline a mix of housing types with around 30 per cent allocated as affordable homes. The scheme incorporates low-carbon design principles, sustainable drainage systems, open green spaces, pedestrian and cycling routes, and electric vehicle charging points. Provisions for biodiversity net gain and rainwater harvesting are also included in the outline plans.
If approved, the development would expand Horncastle’s housing supply while integrating with nearby commercial and agricultural activity. For local businesses, it signals future demand for construction services, materials, and infrastructure support in the growing Lincolnshire market town.
