Boston Borough Council is pleased to announce that the planning application for the Crown House redevelopment has been approved. This mixed-use building will be a prominent part of the Rosegarth Square area.

 

These plans follow in the footsteps of the recently approved planning consent for the proposed public realm works, which features new artwork, external social spaces, and a new entrance/drop-off area for the Len Medlock Centre. It will also include a sensory garden designed for quiet contemplation and reflection, as well as an amphitheatre-style seating area. 

 

The Crown House development will see a new mixed-use building featuring retail units on the ground floor and apartments on the remaining two storeys above. The scheme will also be enhanced with landscaping, parking and cycle storage to complement the overall Rosegarth Square masterplan, as well as relocating the current toilets and Changing Place into the new building.

 

The scheme aims to transform Rosegarth Square as a thriving community space. It will provide the opportunity for the retail units to offer outside dining as well as the wider area being used by family and friends to meet up and enjoy this part of the town.

 

The changes to the area will also enable quick and easy access to both the bus and train stations and become the gateway to the heart of Boston.

 

This project is a significant part of the Rosegarth Square transformation. With planning permission and demolition notices, we can now start with the next steps of this project.

 

Councillor David Middleton, Chair of Planning Committee at Boston Borough Council said: “The approval of the Crown House redevelopment is a significant milestone for Rosegarth Square and for Boston as a whole. This project exemplifies how thoughtful planning can transform underused spaces into vibrant hubs that benefit the entire community. The committee was impressed with the vision and detail in the plans, which will not only enhance the area’s aesthetic appeal but also provide practical benefits like improved connectivity and new facilities. We look forward to seeing this exciting development come to life.”
