Proposals
Site and surroundings
We are proposing a development of around 280 high quality new homes to help meet South Kesteven’s growing housing needs.
The site sits between Deeping Road and Baston Road/King Street. Baston and nearby Langtoft already offer schools, healthcare and local services, and there are regular bus routes connecting the area to Bourne, Market Deeping, Peterborough, Stamford and Spalding. Market Deeping, just to the south, provides a wider range of shops, leisure facilities and employment opportunities.
The site also benefits from easy access to Public Rights of Way, creating safe walking and cycling routes and helping future residents reach village facilities sustainably.
Our vision goes beyond delivering new homes through our commitment to enhancing the local environment and supporting the community. This will include investing in key infrastructure, like schools, healthcare and local roads, cycling and pedestrian improvements.
