Plans submitted for development of 335 homes in Louth
An outline planning application has been submitted for a sustainable urban extension to Louth, Lincolnshire for 335 new homes.
Multi-disciplinary design practice, rg+p Ltd is lead consultant, masterplanner, planning consultant and principal designer (CDM) for the scheme, and has led preparation of the planning application on behalf of Lindum Group and Messrs A & W Laughton.
As well as up to 335 new homes (including the provision of affordable housing), the masterplan also includes associated access onto Legbourne Road; pedestrian and vehicular connectivity throughout the site; resident and visitor parking; Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS); and areas of public open space, play space and landscape planting.
“Strategic land promotion plays a vital role in providing a resilient pipeline of land to meet pressing national housing targets,” said Chris Lindley, planning director at rg+p Ltd and project lead for the Legbourne Road development. “Sustainable urban extension sites like this are important for bringing forward the volume of new homes needed but in an environmentally responsible and socially inclusive way.
“Louth is a key service and economic centre for the surrounding rural area so our masterplan for Legbourne Road includes a range of house types to appeal to a wide demographic, enabling local people and families to remain in the area, retain their roots, and continue contributing to the town’s community.
“Both pre-application feedback and public consultation have strongly informed the design, which has also taken cues from the existing architecture of this important market town. We are hopeful this collaboration will lead to a positive outcome from this application.”
The full technical team for Legbourne Road, Louth includes rg+p Ltd (lead consultant, masterplanner, planning consultant, principal designer CDM), Lindum Group (developer), Aspect Landscape Planning (landscape architect), Koda (drainage design), Rachel Hacking (ecology and biodiversity net gain) and SLR (highways and transportation).
