Nine homes planned for village near Grantham

Plans have been submitted for nine homes in a village north of Grantham.

The outline application is from a Mr M North of Casthorpe Road, Barrowby, who wishes to build the homes in Barkston.

The 0.6ha site is at Gipple Farm Cottages, Heath Lane, Barkston, on land on the west side of High Dyke.

The application to South Kesteven District Council said: "Site has a caravan parked on it and there is evidence of cottages demolished in the 1960's."

If approved, there would be eight three-bed homes and one four-bed home.

They are also described as "8 semi-detached

chalet style 1 & 1/2 storey dwellings with external parking for 2 cars." There would also be one detached home. SKDC has yet to determine the planning application.
