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 773 applications which is slightly below the national average of 959. The approval rate was 93% (marginally above the national average of 88%) and 49% of applications were decided on time, (significantly below the national average of 58%).

Alongside acting as Planning Consultants we are ARB registered architects with 25+ years of experience. We advise on and prepare planning applications across a range of development types, including:
