A BUILDING company has Cleethorpes in its sights with plans for a 34-house development.

Developers Cyden Homes has submitted plans for the resort, which will see the homes built on two-and-a-half acres of land off Cottesmore Road, on the Belvoir Road estate off Taylors Avenue.

Dave Logan, of Cyden Homes, said: “We have made a planning application to North East Lincolnshire Council for a development of 34 mixed homes.

“They will range in size from two, three and four-bedroomed properties.

“It is part of an agreement to purchase the land from the council, subject to us getting planning permission.

“However, it’s early days, with the plans having just being submitted.

“The look of the houses is what I’d describe as Lincolnshire architecture, very cottagey.” The layout of the roads will also have an informal feel rather than adhering to a strict grid system.

Mr Logan added that the development, should it be approved, will take advantage of some of the last remaining prime land allocated for residential purposes in the resort.

“There aren’t that many sites of this sort of quality in Cleethorpes which the council has directed for development,” he said.

He added if all goes ahead, it won not be long before the first occupier arrived.

“We expect to find out in the middle of May if the plans have been accepted.The contractors would be in shortly afterwards, and the first occupants could be settling in within a year.”

The infrastructure would cost around £400,000 but the developers could not provide a final figure for the cost of building the houses.

The homes will carry an expected price tag between £120,000 and £250,000.

He added the current state of the market would not halt demand for housing, nor companies working to meet that demand: “It’s quiet at the moment but there are still people wanting to buy,” he said.
