Over 200 affordable homes approved

Gleeson Homes has been granted planning permission to build 232 homes on Louth Road.

The development, which will be known as Holton Croft, will see two, three and four bedroom semi-detached and detached homes, bungalows and one bedroom apartments, as well as green open spaces and a play area erected across the 17 acre plot of land.

“We are looking forward to working with the local community and will employ a workforce that comprises of local labour, including apprentices and contractors.”

Construction is expected to start in December 2022, with three show homes launching in November 2023 and the first homes released for sale in Spring 2023.
