East Lindsey in Lincolnshire includes Skegness, Louth, and Horncastle. Known for coastal towns, historic market villages, and rural landscapes. Planning focuses on sensitive development, conservation, and coastal schemes.
In the last year East Lindsey decided 818 applications which is slightly below the national average of 988. The approval rate was 93% (marginally above the national average of 88%) and 57% of applications were decided on time, (on par with the national average of 59%). Stats updated March 2026 from gov. sources. See how East Lindsey performs relative to other LPAs in our LPA hub.

Where constraints permit, we can develop proposals that manage flood risk thoughtfully to give applications the best chance of approval. Learn more about development risks in flood risk areas here.
In addition to acting as Planing Conultants we are ARB registered architects with 25+ years of experience. We provide a full range of planning services, including:
Thoughtful, well-considered design is often the key to securing Planning Permission, particularly on sites where others struggle to find a way forward. Let’s discuss your project.
