The Church of England has secured planning permission for a 1,087-home development on a 44-hectare site in Bracebridge Heath, Lincoln. 

The development will be funded by the Church Commissioners for England, the body which manages the Church of England’s £10.3bn investment fund.

Designed by Leeds studio Architecture 519, the Bracebridge Heath development includes a residential care home, new transport links and public green spaces.  

“Bracebridge Heath will create a vibrant new community in the Lincoln area, in line with the vision set out in the local plan for new high-quality places to live,” Matthew Naylor, strategic land principal manager at the Church Commissioners for England, said.
