Construction has begun on the expansion of business land at Spratt Close in Horncastle, backed by a £1.5 million investment from Lincolnshire County Council and £400,000 from East Lindsey District Council. The project, known as Hornbeam Business Park, will create three serviced development plots across four acres, aiming to generate over 65 jobs.
The initiative is part of a broader £20 million county-wide investment in business infrastructure over the next four years, targeting key sectors such as manufacturing, defence, and agri-food. Additional industrial estate expansions are planned in West Lindsey, East Lindsey, and Boston, with a goal of creating 3,000 jobs.
Lindum Construction is managing the site development, with the project procured via the Scape regional construction framework. The expansion includes new road infrastructure designed to improve access and attract further business investment.
