Proposals are being drawn up for new homes, a convenience store, community centre and enhanced open green space on the edge of Lincoln.

Temple Garth part of a Lindum Group joint venture company is working on plans for a mixed-use development on land off Long Leys Road, opposite the St George’s estate.

Representatives from the organisation attended a drop-in event organised by the residents association for members of the community to find out more about the proposals.

Around 70 people attended, and development manager Jess Thomas said there was broad support for the scheme.

“We’ve been liaising with residents and community groups to align our proposals to the emerging Neighbourhood Plan and have responded to aspirations identified in the most recent Residents Survey.

“Many of those we spoke to at the consultation said they would be happy to see the site come forward for development, next steps will be to engage with consultants to undertake some technical work on the site in the new year”.
