Corby Glen
Land South of The Green
New homes shaped by the community
A proposed residential development in a sustainable location
Welcome
Muller Property Group is preparing an outline planning application for around 150 new family and affordable homes on land south off The Green, Corby Glen, Lincolnshire.
The proposals include a mix of 2- to 5-bedroom detached and semi-detached houses, designed to support housing choice and contribute positively to the local community.
The development would be set within a 17.2-acre site, with approximately 4.5 acres of high-quality public open space dedicated to informal recreation, enhanced landscaping, and habitat creation.
The proposals have been shaped by a range of technical assessments to ensure they are appropriate, deliverable and sensitive to the existing local character.
Site Context
The site is located on the south-western edge of Corby Glen, on land to the south of The Green. The site extends to around 17.2 acres and currently comprises a residential dwelling, an equestrian facility, and associated farmland.
Residential properties lie to the north and east, while the surrounding land to the south and west is predominantly agricultural and grassland.
The West Glen River is situated approximately 120 metres west of the site. The river corridor provides linear ecological connectivity through adjacent agricultural fields, linking areas of woodland, hedgerows and grassland habitats in the surrounding landscape.
Policy Context
Planning Policy Context
The site is located outside the Green Belt in a sustainable edge-of-settlement location adjoining Corby Glen. It is not affected by national or local environmental designations that would prevent development, making it a suitable and deliverable site for a sensitively designed residential scheme.
Nearby heritage assets, including the Corby Glen Conservation Area and the Grade II listed Round House Farm, will be carefully considered, with design and landscaping measures used to protect their setting.
The site lies within a Limestone Minerals Safeguarding Area, and a Minerals Assessment will be submitted as part of the planning application.
Local Plan Review
Local planning authorities are required by Government to regularly review and update their Local Plans to ensure that they remain effective and up to date.
South Kesteven District Council is currently progressing work on the preparation of a new Local Plan, which will establish the strategic planning framework for the District and identify sites to meet future development needs over the plan period.
The emerging Local Plan will play a key role in addressing housing requirements across the District, including the need to identify sustainable locations for residential growth in settlements such as Corby Glen.
Increased Housing Targets
Recent changes to national planning policy, including revisions to the National Planning Policy Framework, have resulted in increased housing requirements for many local planning authorities, including South Kesteven District Council.
As a consequence, there is an identified need to bring forward additional, deliverable housing sites in sustainable locations to support the Council in meeting its future housing needs and maintaining an appropriate housing land supply.
The proposed development at Corby Glen would represent an opportunity to make a positive contribution towards meeting these requirements while delivering new homes in a manner that reflects local character and infrastructure capacity.
The Proposals
The emerging illustrative masterplan has been shaped by assessments relating to highways, ecology and landscape considerations, helping to ensure the development is deliverable, well-designed and sustainable. At this early outline planning stage, the plan is indicative only and may evolve as the project progresses, informed by ongoing technical work and feedback received through consultation.

Muller Property Group is proposing a residential-led development, which will assist the Council in meeting its need to deliver sufficient homes to meet identified demand.
The current proposals are illustrated on the Masterplan Plan and include:
- The delivery of around 150 new homes in a sustainable and accessible village-edge location.
- The inclusion of 30% affordable housing, delivered in line with local planning policy
- A mix of dwelling sizes and types, reflecting the character and scale of existing development in Corby Glen
- The provision of public open space throughout the site, including areas for informal recreation and outdoor play for all ages
- A comprehensive landscaping strategy forming a central part of the scheme, designed to enhance visual appearance and integrate the development into its surroundings
- The retention and enhancement of existing trees and hedgerows wherever possible, supporting biodiversity and landscape character
- The retention and enhancement of existing public right of way across the site
- New and improved pedestrian connections, helping to link the site with the wider village
- Sustainable drainage features, including attenuation areas to manage surface water and ensure no increased flood risk off-site
- A commitment to achieving a minimum 10% net gain in biodiversity compared with the site’s existing ecological value
Technical Work
We have already undertaken a range of technical work on the site to inform how we design the scheme and raise any constrains we need to consider. These have been assessed through a series of initial surveys and other assessments.
Our technical work will be expanded upon within the forthcoming planning application submission, which will include the following:
- Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment
- Transport Assessment
- Ecology, Biodiversity Net Gain Analysis
- Heritage Assessment
- Tree Survey
Benefits
The proposals would bring a number of benefits for Corby Glen and the wider South Kesteven area, including:
Affordable Housing
Enabling social mobility by providing 30% affordable homes, with a mix of 60% affordable rent and 40% affordable ownership.
Economic Boost
New homes to help meet local housing needs and support existing services through the creation of jobs, and opportunities for local suppliers during development, plus increased local spending once homes are occupied.
Green Space & Play Areas
Retaining trees, hedgerows and creating over 4 acres of landscaped open space for recreation, walking and community use.
Visual Enhancements
Comprehensive landscaping strategy designed to create a visually pleasing site, with safe and convenient routes linking the development with Corby Glen and nearby amenities.
Wildlife and the Environment
Layouts and planting designed to reflect local character and enhance the environment, with a commitment to deliver a 10% biodiversity net gain on-site.
Addressing local housing need
Helping to meet the local area’s identified requirement for new homes by providing around 150 new homes as a balanced mix of 2–5 bedroom homes to support families, first-time buyers and downsizers.
