Land south of Stallingborough Road, Keelby Background The Central Lincolnshire Local Plan 2012 - 2036 was adopted in April The site currently has planning permission for a development of 2017. It contains the planning policies for the growth and regeneration 90 dwellings. This was granted by West Lindsey District Council of the combined area covered by the City of Lincoln, North Kesteven in January 2011 (ref: 126111) and the Estate took measures to and West Lindsey and proposes up to 36,960 new homes (1540 per implement that planning permission so that it remains capable of year) to meet existing and future housing needs. being built out. The Plan allocates two sites in Keelby to accommodate this housing However, since that planning permission was granted, the Estate growth: CL1305 Land at Church Lane (100 dwellings) has taken the view that that particular scheme is at odds with the CL1307 Land south of Stallingborough Road (90 dwellings) established character of Keelby and the high-density layout approved has some fairly fundamental shortcomings. The Estate believes that there is an opportunity to prepare alternative proposals which deliver a more appropriate and lower density housing scheme alongside additional local facilities which have the potential to be real assets for the village - these include a new convenience store; and a new and improved facility for the Roxton Medical Practice. The Estate has appointed an experienced Project Team including; Globe Consultants planning and development, BWB consulting engineers and FPCR Environment and Design. Various surveys of the site have been undertaken to understand the development constraints and opportunities. Development proposals have now been prepared and the Estate wishes to share these plans with the local community prior to three planning applications being submitted in the coming months. This engagement exercise provides the opportunity for the local residential and business community to view and understand the proposals and to provide any comments.

Land south of Stallingborough Road, Keelby Illustrative Layout The Illustrative Layout shows how the detailed design could come forward based upon the parameters of the Framework Plan. It shows the indicative arrangement of new buildings, the street pattern and development blocks together with the layout of Green Infrastructure. Stallingborough Road Convenience Store Keelby Sports Ground Medical Centre Eastfield Road South Street Tomline Close The visual provided (left) illustrates a potential form and scale of development at the entrance to the site from Stallingborough Road. Although indicative in nature, the visual is intended to illustrate the strong street frontage envisaged by the Framework Plan. The new dwellings are shown taking on a traditional appearance in keeping with rural Lincolnshire and are positioned to actively face Stallingborough Road, albeit set back from the road frontage, to create a strong street scene and sense of arrival at the main entry point to this part of the village. Land south of Stallingborough Road, Keelby Illustrative Aerial View The illustrative aerial view again shows how the detailed design could come forward based upon the parameters of the Framework Plan. This viewpoint is particularly useful in highlighting the overall low-density nature of the proposals but also the range of house types (including bungalows) proposed. A variation in heights can be achieved across the development with a cluster of bungalows illustratively shown adjacent to those sensitive properties on Eastfield Road. Along the Stallingborough Road frontage and at key junctions and gateway points, scale can be used cleverly to aid legibility and help create a sense of place. Keelby Sports Ground Eastfield Road South Street Stallingborough Road Hollies Farmhouse Medical Centre Convenience Store Land south of Stallingborough Road, Keelby Illustrative View The visual provided (right) illustrates a typical scene within the heart of the proposed development. In accordance with the Framework Plan, dwellings are set back from the edge of the carriageway with generous front gardens and greenery provided. This helps provide a sense of relief and reinforces a softer rural feel rather than a harsher, more suburban, form of development. Crucially, the intention is that each new house and bungalow will have a generous driveway so that cars do not need to be parked on the street What Happens Next ? Residential development The Brocklesby Estate will be applying for outline planning This opportunity to take your views into account before we submit permission which will set the parameters for the site such as land our three planning applications is really important.
