Concerns Over Sewage Capacity Halt Housing Development in Goxhill

Plans for a new 15-home development in Goxhill have been dismissed by local councillors due to issues over the current sewage capacity and surface water drainage systems. The refusal to approve the plans remains notwithstanding the adjacent location of a larger 85-home development project due to proceed. Such rebuff brings to light persistent infrastructure capacity problems in the area. These problems are becoming more significant as the demand for housing continues to grow.
