Developer Langcroft is to collaborate with Legal & General Affordable Homes, Housing 21, Boston Borough Council, Homes England, and RG+P Architects to deliver a new affordable neighbourhood of 200 homes.
The Wainfleet Road scheme will be built by Seagate Homes, with construction due to begin in early 2026. It will represent a £40m investment into Boston once the homes are complete, and local labour will be employed through the programme.
The development will deliver one, two, three and four-bedroom homes, including shared ownership, affordable rent, and 36 specialist retirement housing properties.
Boston Borough Council has backed the scheme with over £1m of funding.
Councillor John Baxter, portfolio holder for housing at Boston Borough Council, said: “I’m delighted we are able to make this substantial investment into such an important project for Boston. It demonstrates our continued commitment to meeting the differing housing needs of our residents.
“By supporting this development, we are helping to deliver a range of high-quality affordable homes that will make a real difference to families, couples and individuals across the borough. This project gives people the opportunity to stay and put down roots in Boston with a safe, attractive place they can call home.
“It’s fantastic that we can continue building strong relationships with developers like Langcroft, bringing long-term economic and community benefits to our area.”
Anette Simpson, director of development and partnerships at L&G Affordable Homes, said: “We’re proud to be bringing forward this scheme in Boston. As with all of our projects, it’s about more than homes – it’s about creating opportunities for families to thrive. Partnering with Langcroft, and with support from Homes England, we’re delivering affordable, sustainable housing where it’s needed most.”
Danny Lang, director at Langcroft, said: “We are incredibly proud to be leading this exciting project for Boston. By bringing together such strong partners from day one, we’ve been able to shape a neighbourhood that directly responds to local housing needs while raising expectations of what affordable and mixed-tenure living can look like.
“This represents a major investment in Boston’s future, and we are delighted to be moving forwards with a scheme that will deliver lasting social, economic and community value.”
