A planning application for 84 homes in Holbeach has been submitted to South Holland District Council, expanding on a previously submitted huge development.
The proposed development at Fen Road has been submitted by Spalding developer Ashwood Homes, and the application states the land is adjacent to a larger development where Ashwood Homes has gained outline planning permission for 900 homes in December 2016. It will be known as Holbeach Meadows.
So far, 330 of the 900 plots have reserved matters approval.
The new proposed development comprises 28 two-bedroom homes, 46 three-bedroom homes and 10 four-bedroom homes.
The application states that of the 84 homes, 25 are affordable homes “to meet the 30 per cent requirement”, and some of the homes will be
bungalows.
“The appearance of the proposed house types are derived from influences taken from local, rural vernacular details. The building forms will create a strong theme throughout the development with the use of a limited materials palette to create a coherent street scene and sense of place. The materials will be taken from a palette of facing bricks with the occasional use of boarding on key focal plots if desired.
“Concrete roof tiles will be used through the development to continue the coherent approach. Details of window, eaves and verges will be simple to reflect a traditional approach.
“Details such as porch canopies and window styles will also be simple, but may vary from house to house. A mixture of gable fronted and lean-to timber porches will be used, with the occasional formal door surround to the larger properties.”
The application can be viewed and commented upon online at the district council website.
