More than 400 homes on a farm near Grantham have been approved by South Kesteven District Council.
The authorityâs planning committee gave the go ahead to two separate applications for land at Rectory Farm, with one for 220 homes by Rob Thorley of Jelson Ltd, and another for 228 by Georgina McCrae at Linden Homes.
Since they both related to the same development, the applications were discussed at the same time.

The land has been allocated for residential development in the councilâs local plan since 2010 but previous plans caused concern for officers and consultees. However, officers say these have now been resolved.
