Deloitte LLP applies to turn agricultural land into 150 homes in Fiskerton
Eight hectares of agricultural land could be about to become 150 new homes in a small village just over five miles outside Lincoln city centre.
The site is north-east of the village of Fiskerton, spread across 8.13 hectares of agricultural land near the local village hall and primary school.
The applicant proposes some 150 new dwellings, mixed between bungalows and two-storey homes.
It is allocated within the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan for housing developments, and would serve as a “natural extension” to the existing village, according to the applicant Deloitte LLP.
It would include multiple lakes and public open spaces, alongside the 150 proposed home, but there is no mention within the design and access statement as to how many of these houses will be allocated as affordable.

This, it says, will be decided once discussions take place with planning officers.
According to the 2021 census, the population of Fiskerton is just 1,201, meaning that could vastly increase with the introduction of more than 100 new family homes.
Planning officers at West Lindsey District Council will deliberate over the application and come to a decision in the coming weeks.
The applicant is seeking outline planning permission with all matters reserved, and a series of section 106 agreements are expected to contribute towards potential impact on existing healthcare, education and transport sectors.
