Building work at Vasey Fields near Lincoln progressing well

A new affordable housing development in a village near Lincoln has hit the halfway point in construction.

We’re delivering Vasey Fields – an 18-home fully affordable development – in Bassingham in partnership with Lindum Group.

Roofing works have now been completed on the homes, with decorators and joiners now on site working on the interior of the properties.

Marcus Keys, Executive Director of Growth, Development and Assets at Longhurst Group, said: "There's a demand for high-quality affordable homes in Bassingham and we're delighted to be helping to address this by delivering our Vasey Fields development.

"As a Group, we're committed to delivering the homes people want, where they're needed most, and these homes will also see us strengthen our portfolio in Lincolnshire and ensure more people can realise their dream of home ownership in an affordable way.

"I'm really pleased to see the progress being made at Vasey Fields and we're working closely with our partners at Lindum Group to ensure the homes are available as soon as possible."

Work is due to finish on the homes in August and, once completed, the 18 homes will be available on a mix of tenures, including Shared Ownership.

The development also includes half an acre dedicated to biodiversity net gain, with trees and hedgerows planted. Swift and bat roosting boxes have also been built into the homes and hedgehog holes in the garden fences.

Gavin Parker, Lindum Group Construction Manager, said: “We are making good progress on this development, and it is excellent to now see the homes taking shape. With the scaffolding coming down on most of the houses and the roofs now finished you can really start to get a feel as to what the new development will look like.

“These homes will create an important addition to the housing offering in Bassingham and will benefit the local village, as well as providing opportunities for people in housing need.”
