Nine for, one abstained
A farm shop and 149 homes in Coningsby have been approved by East Lindsey councillors.
G.S. Gaines & Sons submitted an application to build the farm shop and homes on the land south of Leagate Road, Coningsby which will sit on 5.87 hectares of flat agricultural land split over two separate fields.
All homes will be two storey in height with 25 one bed, 36 two bed, 58 three bed and 30 four bed homes. 30% of the homes will be affordable (45) and there will be three local play areas on the site.
Developers said: “The affordable units have been placed around the site in small groups in order to blend with the overall scheme.”

More people from Eastern European communities are being invited to have a walk-in COVID-19 jab at Boston’s large vaccination centre.
The mass vaccination centre at the Princess Royal Sports Arena in Boston will be hosting another European day on Sunday, May 2, in an attempt to encourage more Eastern European people to get their coronavirus vaccine.
It follows two previous European days at the centre in April, and offers walk-in appointments of the AstraZeneca jab between 10am and 4pm.
