140+ houses have been approved behind these, and now another 400 are proposed. The roads are narrow and crowded, and every house built at the top of the hill adds to the flooding problems for the houses at the bottom. We are told the country needs affordable housing. Of the 140+ houses in the first development, only 43 are to be affordable. If the ratio were the same for the second development, that would mean a total of 300 new executive houses. So...where are 300 new executives to come from in this little town in rural Lincolnshire? Having just defeated the dreadful "Southern Gateway" proposal of 970 houses on the other side of the town, Louth is faced with the misery and expense of yet another battle. See also Image
