Work has officially begun on the first 52 energy-efficient homes at Charterholme, a landmark new neighbourhood set to transform the western side of Lincoln.
The start of construction marks a significant milestone in the city’s largest development project in decades, paving the way for a vibrant community that combines sustainable living with a highly desirable location.
Previously known as the Western Growth Corridor, Charterholme has been more than 100 years in the making and is the result of a partnership between the City of Lincoln Council and local construction company Lindum Group.
The ambitious project will unfold over the next 25 years, delivering 3,200 homes alongside shops, a business park, a leisure village, community services, and enhanced transport infrastructure.
Lindum Homes is part of the Lindum Group, a Lincoln-based construction business known for delivering high-quality developments and working closely with communities to create places where people thrive.
Rebecca Hurst-Miller, Director of Lindum Homes, said that this first phase of 52 houses will play a key role in establishing the vision and character for the entire development.
“One at Charterholme will combine thoughtful planning and sustainable principles to create a neighbourhood that benefits both its residents and the wider community.”
“We’re delighted to begin work on the first homes at One at Charterholme. These properties will showcase modern, energy-efficient design, providing residents with high-quality, comfortable living spaces.
“Work to build a showhome on site is underway and this set to open in summer 2025. In the meantime, our Sales Team will be available on site from February 2025 so please do pop in for more information.”
City of Lincoln Councillor Joshua Wells, Portfolio Holder for Inclusive Economic Growth, said: “Charterholme is a truly transformative project that will support the sustainable growth of our city for generations to come. This development is not only about providing much-needed housing but also about creating a vibrant, sustainable, and well-connected community.
“We are proud to see this vision take its first tangible steps with the construction of these 52 energy-efficient homes, and we look forward to seeing the wider benefits Charterholme will bring to Lincoln.”
The name “Charterholme” reflects Lincoln’s rich history and its forward-looking ambition. The project has been carefully designed to balance sustainable growth with the preservation of the city’s unique character.
With the first phase now underway, Lindum Homes will deliver 52 properties featuring innovative energy-efficient technologies, ensuring they meet the needs of modern families while minimising their environmental impact.
