Plans put forward for 135 new homes in Gainsborough
Acis Housing Group has asked West Lindsey District Council for permission to build the new homes off Bowling Green Lane and Wilson Street.
Alongside the four-storey apartment blocks, the plans also consist of a mixture of two-story affordable, shared ownership and private homes and an eight-bedroom, wheelchair accessible, supported living bungalow.

A recent public consultation event was well attended, say the applicants, adding: “In general, people were positive about improvements to what is perceived as ‘overgrown wasteland’.”
A new road would be created off Bowling Green Lane, connecting back to Wilson Street and Japan Road.
The scheme would include 218 car parking spaces.
