Plans to build a 40-home residential development on the site of a former Grantham secondary school have been approved this week.
The Lincoln Diocesan Trust and the Board of Education and the Lincoln Diocesan Trust and Board of Finance were seeking permission to build 40 homes, including eight affordable homes, on the 1.3 hectare site, off Queensway, in what was the site of Grantham Church High School before it was demolished in 2014.
South Kesteven District Councilâs planning committee heard how a similar proposal of 44 homes on the site had already been approved in 2015, but has now been reduced to 40 homes to allow for some on-site surface water attenuation.

Coming to Corby Glen, Grantham and Bourne
Councillors have approved plans to build 125 homes across three areas in South Kesteven.
66 homes will be built in Corby Glen, 40 in Grantham and 19 in Bourne.
South Kesteven District Council’s Planning Committee on Wednesday unanimously approved the 66 and 19 homes, while the 40 homes application in Grantham was more controversial.

Residents appeal for action over pothole-ridden street in Grantham Published: 17:19, 13 December 2020
Residents of a pothole-ridden road in Grantham are appealing for action to be taken over the state of its surface.
People living on Queensway are fed up at having to dodge persistent potholes blighting the road outside their homes. The holes can be seen all down the edge of the road and are causing misery for those who live nearby.
South Kesteven district councillor Ian Selby, who represents the Harrowby Ward, visited the street on Sunday.
