New Nature-Focused Holiday Destination Approved near Lincoln
Full Planning Permission for 14 lodges with nature park | Faldingworth | Lincolnshire
Planning permission has been granted by West Lindsey District Council for the development of a new eco-tourism site at Land off Lincoln Road, Faldingworth, near Lincoln.
The approved plans allow for the siting of 14 eco-lodges for holiday use, the excavation of three wildlife ponds, and the erection of a multi-purpose building to provide a site office, maintenance store and on-site manager’s accommodation.
The scheme also includes an upgrade to the existing vehicular access, associated drives and pathways, and the implementation of a comprehensive landscaping strategy across the 4.1-hectare site.
The development has been creatively designed to provide high-quality visitor accommodation with direct access to nature, while also delivering significant biodiversity enhancements and new green infrastructure. Having been approached by our client to design a site with a contemporary feel, our brief was to deliver where others had failed. The site came with a legacy of previous planning refusals by other consultants - our team positively responded with a dynamic and ambitious project that was warmly supported by the LPA.
The approved development has been carefully designed to:
Deliver eco-lodges that are energy-efficient, low-carbon and finished to a high standard
Use a small-scale, low-profile layout to minimise visual impact on the surrounding landscape
Incorporate renewable energy infrastructure, with photovoltaic panels meeting the site-wide energy demand
Provide meaningful biodiversity gains, including new habitats and wildlife ponds, supported by a detailed landscaping scheme
From fallow field to a multi-million pound investment in the visitor economy! The site lies to the east of Lincoln Road, directly adjacent to Faldingworth recreational ground, on the southern edge of the village.
Approx. 5.5 km south-west of Market Rasen
Approx. 13 km north-east of Lincoln
Centrally located within the West Lindsey district, with excellent access to the region’s three key visitor economy brands: the Lincolnshire Wolds, Lincoln City, and Gainsborough.
