Developers Langcroft are collaborating with Legal & General Affordable Homes, Housing 21, Boston Borough Council, Homes England and RG+P Architects to deliver a transformative new 200 affordable home neighbourhood which was agreed today. The scheme will be built by local contractor Seagate Homes.
Construction is due to begin in early 2026 and it will represent a £40million investment into Boston once completion of all the homes, as well as employing local labour through the programme. Wainfleet Road will pave the way for a vibrant, well-designed community offering homes for first-time buyers, local families, renters and older residents to meet the local housing need. Bringing strong social and economic benefits, whilst supporting Boston Borough Council’s long-term housing strategy.
The development will deliver a diverse range of 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom homes, including shared ownership, affordable rent and 36 specialist retirement housing. Guided by Langcroft’s approach to deliver more than just houses, but to create a place where people can live well, feel part of a community and enjoy greener surroundings. Boston Borough Council has backed the scheme with over £1 million of funding to support this affordable housing provision in the borough. The site was selected due to its potential to provide high-quality homes, stimulate wider investment and strengthen local housing choice. The development focuses on creating a strong, sustainable community.
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.”
Langcroft identified the Wainfleet Road site for its exceptional location. Just minutes from Boston Town Centre, the Pilgrim Hospital, local Primary and Secondary Schools, Boston College, key employment areas and major transport links
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.”
This collaborative approach ensures the project will deliver both immediate and enduring value for the town.
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.”
