Planning in South Kesteven

South Kesteven District Council covers the south-west corner of Lincolnshire, with four main towns: Grantham, Stamford, Bourne and the Deepings. Minerals, waste and highways sit with Lincolnshire County Council. The district sits on the A1 and the East Coast Main Line, which makes it well connected and keeps steady pressure on housing and employment land.

Grantham is the main growth centre, with large urban extensions on the edge of the town and a southern relief road opening up land for development. Stamford is one of England's best-preserved stone towns and was the first place in the country to be designated a conservation area, so heritage and design carry great weight there. Belton House and many limestone villages add to the district's historic character, and the local quarries are a minerals matter for the county. Large solar schemes on the Rutland border have also come forward. Roles here include development management, policy, conservation and urban design, with consultancies active on the bigger sites.
