Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 13:29 · Archive

Plans have been submitted for the next phase of the Handley Chase development in Sleaford, which will eventually include 1450 homes.

Plans have been submitted for the next phase of Sleaford's biggest housing project, the Handley Chase development on the town's southern edge. The scheme is expected to eventually deliver up to 1450 homes, alongside a new school, care home and shops.

Developer Bellway Homes is proposing to build 46 properties in the south-eastern section, comprising eight two-bedroom, 34 three-bedroom and four four-bedroom homes. The original design envisioned fewer, larger homes, but Bellway Homes says this has changed due to lack of demand. Planning documents state: "This replan has occurred due to difficulty in sales for the larger dwellings on site with a clear demand for smaller units in this area."

Handley Chase is a partnership between four developers and has been built in stages over the past decade. North Kesteven District Council will determine the application in the coming months.
