Key information
Property description & features
The site is irregular in shape and extends to approximately 15.4 acres (6.22 hectares) and is currently used as arable farmland.
Wilsford Lane abuts the site’s northern boundary and Sleaford Road (A153) the southern boundary. Vehicular access to the site is off Wilsford Lane.
LOCATION
The site is located on the south-eastern edge of Ancaster, which is situated in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire. Ancaster benefits from a wide range of local amenities including a primary school, butchers, co-operative shop, railway station (on the Nottingham–Skegness line), a post office, and a petrol station. There is also a public house and a sports and social club associated with the playing field.
Ancaster is situated equidistant between Sleaford (approximately 6.5 miles away) and Grantham (approximately 8 miles away) which both offer a wider range of amenities including supermarkets, restaurants, bars and gyms.
The site offers good access to both the A1 (approximately 15 miles away) and A17 (approximately 3.5 miles away) with train services to Sleaford (approximately 9 minutes travel time) and Lincoln (approximately 1 hour travel time). There are also frequent bus services to the surrounding villages.
PLANNING
Policy LV-H2: Wilsford Lane (SKLP211) allocates the majority of the site (its northern section) for housing. Indicative unit numbers are given as being 35 dwellings, with an approximate density of 16 dwellings per hectare. The lower density is based on the site’s gateway location and heritage features to the south.
The South Kesteven District Council Local Plan 2011- 2036 (adopted in January 2020) states that in the ‘Larger Villages’, in addition to allocations, development proposals which promote the role and function of the Larger Villages, and will not compromise the settlement’s nature and character, will be supported. Ancaster is identified as being one of 15 Large Villages.
The Plan states that allocations in Ancaster could deliver approximately 130 new homes through the development of two sites to the South-East of the village.
The site is situated within a Minerals Safeguarding Area and a Limestone Mineral Safeguarding Area. Before considering a planning application for this site a Minerals Assessment will be required.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on October 31, 2023
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
