Planning committee

Decided by North Kesteven Planning Committee on 1 Sept 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the homes could be accessed from Spring Lane and located in Flood Zone 1, with controls for drainage and construction traffic.
  • The parish council and residents raised concerns about Spring Lane’s narrowness, pedestrian safety, construction traffic, flooding and drainage maintenance.
  • The committee voted 5 to 2, with 3 abstentions, to approve subject to a unilateral undertaking and conditions.

Site constraints 4

3 listed buildings within 150 m of the postcode pin
Nearest: The Old House, Grade II, about 16 m from the postcode pin · 3 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.

Historic England ↗
Public footpath about 20 m away
Matters where it crosses or adjoins the site: obstructing a path without a diversion order is an offence, and work cannot start until the order is confirmed.
Compiled from highway authority data, not the legal definitive map. A few authorities have not published, so no path shown is not proof there is none.
Also on the record
Inside the Leasingham built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
