Lincolnshire, as used here, includes the Humber towns of Grimsby, Scunthorpe and Cleethorpes as well as Lincoln, Boston, Grantham, Spalding, Stamford and Skegness. There is no Green Belt, but the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape covers part of the county and much of the south and east lies in low-lying fenland and coastal marsh at high flood risk. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former industrial land.
Before we make an offer in Grantham
Character of the street
New homes need to suit the building line, height and spacing of the street.
Neighbours' amenity
Overlooking, loss of light and outlook are the issues planners weigh most often.
Trees
Protected trees or trees in a conservation area can limit what fits.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
Lincolnshire has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Grantham are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 59 miles from Grantham, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
