< Previous10 North Lincolnshire – Development Land OpportunitiesOUR LAND ALLOCATIONS – By AreaNorth Lincolnshire’s largest settlement, Scunthorpe, is the main location for new housing and employment development in order to enhance its role as a sub-regional town. Outside of Scunthorpe Urban Area, we consider North Lincolnshire’s market towns to be the most sustainable settlements; and have a vital role to play in supporting the area’s rural communities in terms of providing a range of housing, shopping, leisure, education, health and other services. Scunthorpe (SCUH) – Population of almost 82,000At the heart of North Lincolnshire, Scunthorpe is the area’s major employment and service centre. A major investment programme in the town centre brings significant investment opportunities for retail, commercial office, accommodation, leisure, and cultural developments. New housing should be concentrated within the urban area, making the best use of previously developed land and buildings, followed by the Lincolnshire Lakes development.Barton upon Humber (BARH) – Population over 11,500. The historic market town of Barton is located on the south bank of the Humber Estuary at the southern end of the Humber Bridge, six miles south-west of Hull and 31 miles north of Lincoln. The town has direct access to the UK’s motorway network, via the A15, and the Humber Bridge as well as good public transport links with Scunthorpe, Hull and Grimsby and Humberside International Airport. Barton is a very popular location for living, and provides an important service centre for surrounding villages.The town has a conservation area with many buildings dating from the 18th- and 19th- Century, as well as some earlier examples. The town has a full range of shops, independent retailers, a café culture, services and amenities.Brigg (BRIH) – Population over 5,640An historic market town and part of the Ancholme Valley, on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds (an Area of Outstanding National Beauty) is approximately five miles east of Scunthorpe. Brigg has direct access to the UK’s motorway network and has good public transport links with Scunthorpe, Barton upon Humber and Humberside International Airport.Brigg is a very popular location for living and working, and provides an important service centre for surrounding villages and a number of settlements within the neighbouring West Lindsey district. Brigg’s waterfront is serene and largely undeveloped. The town has a full range of shops, services and amenities; a good selection of independent shops and boutiques. It has a strong café culture, traditional pubs and an award winning Farmers’ Market which has continued to increase in popularity. Crowle (CROH) – Population 4,876 Located in the Isle of Axholme, to the north of the M180. To the east of Crowle, there is an Area of Importance for Nature Conservation and an Area of Important Open Amenity to the south-east.Kirton in Lindsey (KIRH) – Population 3,142Kirton in Lindsey lies six miles south of Scunthorpe on a ridge known as the Lincoln Edge. Kirton in Lindsey comprises two distinct ‘centres’- the downhill area around the church of St Andrew and the uphill area around the market place. Kirton in Lindsey also has a conservation area.Winterton (WINH) – Population 4,896Winterton is four miles north of Scunthorpe has a conservation area, and although remains of a Roman settlement have been found nearby, evidence in the town points to Saxon and medieval origins.Key strategic locations for employment land are identified and their development supported, particularly the South Humber Bank (AMEP) as North Lincolnshire’s main strategic employment location; Scunthorpe, Humberside Airport, Sandtoft Business Park, and to a lesser extent the market towns.North Lincolnshire – Development Land Opportunities 11OUR HOUSING SITES12 North Lincolnshire – Development Land OpportunitiesSCUH-1 Phoenix Parkway Phase 1DescriptionThe site at Phoenix Parkway is vacant grassland, surrounded by existing residential and employment use.

The existing bowls club is included in the allocation but this must be replaced before this facility is closed.The importance of promoting mixed use developments is that it can help create vitality and diversity and reduce the need to travel. Town centres, in particular, are capable of absorbing a variety of development often at greater densities, if sensitively designed, without detrimental impact upon local amenity or the environment. The identification of town centre sites, which have often been previously developed, for mixed use developments can also promote the sustainable regeneration of town centres and improve the quality of the built environment.
