Central Lincolnshire Local Plan Review - Proposed Submission Local Plan
Proposed Submission Local Plan
13 Site Allocations
13.0.1 The following section identifies the sites being allocated to deliver the Local Plan requirement for 23,320 to 29,150 new dwellings between 2018 and 2040 and other sites which are identified as likely to undergo some change during the plan period.
13.1 13.0.2 Sites being allocated in this plan have been assessed against a site selection process which is set out in the supporting Evidence Report, which explains the detailed methodology and site selection criteria.
13.1 Housing Trajectory
13.1.1 Details of the geographic distribution and planning status of sites making up the supply are provided in Table 1.
13.1.2 In Table 1, column (a) presents the approximate dwellings requirement figure based on the growth and distribution targets set out in Policy S2, for which provision must be made over the period 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2040, broken down according to the location in the first column.
13.1.3 Column (b) provides details of the net dwellings completed between 1 April 2018 and 31 March 2020 – the latest available monitoring date.
13.1.4 Column (c) provides details of sites with permission for fewer than 10 dwellings at 31 March 2020. This Local Plan does not allocate sites for fewer than 10 dwellings.
13.1.5 Column (d) provides details of sites with permission for 10 or more dwellings at 31 March 2020. This includes sites allocated in the 2017 Local Plan. Sites with extant permission for 10 or more dwellings are included as allocations in Policies S76-S82.
13.1.6 Column (e) provides details of the number of homes on allocated sites in this plan that did not have planning permission at 31 March 2020. This includes allocated sites in the 2017 Local Plan which are being carried forward into this plan.
13.1.7 Column (f) identifies the number of dwellings expected to come forward through windfall development on small sites in Lincoln. At present no allowance is made for any additional dwellings on other sites outside of Lincoln, although the plan provides a flexible framework for such sites to come forward.
13.1.8 Column (g) shows the number of dwellings that are expected to come forward during the plan period from all of the sources in columns (b) to (f) for each area of distribution and for all of Central Lincolnshire. It is important to note that some SUEs are expected to continue to deliver beyond the plan period – this additional long term development is not included in this table.
13.1.9 Column (h) then shows the relationship between the expected delivery in column (g) against the strategic distribution in column (a). This shows that overall there is a surplus against the requirement of 8,495 dwellings against the lower end of the housing requirement range, and a surplus of 2,665 dwellings against the higher end of the housing requirement range, across Central Lincolnshire. Such a buffer is useful and appropriate for a plan with a 20 year time period, as it allows for a degree of flexibility in the plan, including any losses (demolition) which may occur or any sites which do not deliver as much or as quickly as expected.
13.1.10 In addition to the geographic distribution and planning status of allocated sites, information about the expected timescales for delivery of each of the site allocations in this plan is provided to show the chronological distribution of housing throughout the plan period – this is known as a housing trajectory. To inform this trajectory an estimate has been made as to when each site will actually deliver units on the ground. These estimates are then combined to create an overall trajectory of all sites for Central Lincolnshire. The trajectory is provided in Table 2 and Figure 1.

- – see Local Plan Policy S2 for details of housing requirement and distribution
- – dwelling completions from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2021
- – dwellings on sites with permission at 31 March 2021 for fewer than 10 dwellings
- – dwellings on sites with permission at 31 March 2021 for 10 or more dwellings
- – dwellings on sites allocated in Local Plan Policies S76-S82 without permission at 31 March 2021.
- – dwellings anticipated from small sites in Lincoln urban area once small sites with permission have delivered – 75 dwellings per year
- – total number of dwellings expected in geographic area in the plan period of 2018-2040
- – amount over or under the strategic distribution figure in column (a)
Local Plan Housing Trajectory Table
Table 2: Housing Trajectory Table for Central Lincolnshire 2018-2040
Table note: the table has been colour coded to differentiate between different phases of the plan period as follows:
- Grey – Years 1-3 (2018-2021) have been delivered.
- Green – Year 4 (2021/22) is the current monitoring year at the time of the plan being finalised for consultation and submission.
- Blue – Years 5-9 (2022-2027) is the five year period from the plan being finalised and submitted.
- Yellow – Years 10-22 (2027-2040) is the remainder of the plan period.
- Orange – Total delivery across the plan period.

13.2 Residential Site Allocations
13.2.1 Policies S76-S82 provide details of sites being allocated for residential development. With the exception of Policy S76 which deals with the residential development expected at SUEs, the sites are separated out by position in the Settlement Hierarchy as is set out in Policy S1.
13.2.2 In Policies S77-S82, each site allocated for residential development has a figure in the column headed ‘Indicative dwellings during plan period 2018-2040’. For sites with permission the figure is the total number of dwellings with planning permission on the site or, if the site is already under construction, it is accompanied by the remaining number of dwellings (as at 1 April 2021) still to be completed in accordance with the permission. Where the site is without planning permission, the figure is in most cases an estimate based on the size of the site, an assumption about the net developable area, and an assumption about the net residential density which would be appropriate for the area in which the site is located. However, there are a few exceptions to this where information in pending applications, or in design-led schemes that have been submitted to a district for example, has been agreed as being more appropriate than the density assumptions. There is a full explanation of the assumptions made in the published Evidence Report.
13.2.3 The indicative numbers of dwellings are used to demonstrate how the Local Plan requirement can be met. It is emphasised that they are only ‘indicative’, and do not represent a fixed policy target for each individual site.
13.2.4 Developers are encouraged to produce the most appropriate design-led solution, taking all relevant Local Plan policies and national policy into account, in arriving at a total dwelling figure for their site, and they need not be constrained by the figure that appears in the column headed ‘indicative dwelling figure’.
13.2.5 The site allocations policies are separated out to distinguish between SUEs and then by tier of the Settlement Hierarchy and within each policy sites are sorted alphabetically by district and then settlement name.
Residential Development from Sustainable Urban Extensions (SUEs)
13.2.6 Policy S76 relating to the SUEs should be read in conjunction with the overall SUEs Policies S69-S71.
Residential Site Allocations
13.2.8 Within the following policies S77-S82 the final column also includes some site specific policy requirements for the delivery of some sites in addition to other policy requirements. These are included where it is necessary to make the delivery of the site acceptable in principle. Where this is empty for a site, the policies of the development plan should be applied.
