New homes in Barton-upon-Humber given green light

North Lincolnshire Councillors voted to approve plans brought forward by Persimmon Homes for 388 new homes on land to the west of Brigg Road and south of Horkstow Road.

Outline planning permission was previously granted for up to 390 homes on the site.

The development will offer a broad mix of homes, ranging from one to four-bedroom properties. 20 bungalows will also feature, all of which will be wheelchair accessible.

Developers will deliver two new play areas, as well as extensive areas of public open space, a community orchard, allotments and a viewing platform overlooking the Humber Bridge.

Graham Whiteford, Persimmon Yorkshire Planning Director, said: “We are delighted to have these plans for new, high-quality homes in Barton-upon-Humber approved.

“This site will provide a broad mix of homes, as well as lots of green spaces that the public can enjoy. We’re sure this development will prove popular with local homebuyers.”
