It is nearly an acre on the edge of <a title="Market Rasen" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_Rasen" target="_blank">Market Rasen</a>, which is a pleasant market town. There is a Tesco supermarket within a 3 minute walk of the plot so that ticks a significant box for one of our number because they wanted easy access to shops (within walking distance). There is a railway station in the town with trains travelling to Lincoln and a service to London Kings Cross that takes two hours.

The plot itself has good access, is flat and contains quite a few mature trees. Trees present a problem in terms of building postions but they are an excellent amenity to have on a site and none of us would like to see them removed. We still need to explore whether we can put 3 houses on it rather than the 4 bungalows it has planning permission for. We are developing questions to ask the planners and hope to meet up with them later this week.
