To confirm the Minutes of the Meeting held on 6^th May 2026.

The Minutes of the Meeting held on 6^th May 2026 were confirmed as a correct record.

To consider approval of the South & East Lincolnshire Destination Management Plan and the Destination Management Action Plan for 2026 – 2030.

1. That the South & East Lincolnshire Destination Management Plan 2026 - 2030 at Appendix A be approved;

2. That the Destination Management Action Plan 2026 - 2030 at Appendix B be approved;

3.That authority be delegated to the Service Director for Culture & Regeneration, in consultation with the relevant Portfolio Holder, to make minor amendments to the Action Plan and oversee delivery, monitoring and annual refreshes.

A report was presented that sought Executive Board approval of the South & East Lincolnshire Destination Management Plan and the Destination Management Action Plan for 2026 – 2030.

During his introduction, the Portfolio Holder for Coastal Economy welcomed the South & East Lincolnshire Destination Management Plan and thanked the officers involved in its development.  He noted that the time taken to prepare the document was reflected in its quality and thoroughness.

.

He highlighted that whilst the Council had always recognised the quality of the area in which residents lived, the Plan also acknowledged its significant economic value as a nationally and potentially internationally, important visitor destination.  Recognising the area's unique assets encouraged a broader understanding of its role in supporting economic growth and prosperity.

The visitor economy was highlighted as a major contributor to East Lindsey and the wider South & East Lincolnshire area, supporting jobs, businesses, town centres, cultural organisations and natural assets.  The South & East Lincolnshire Destination Management Plan (DMP) provided the strategic framework for the visitor economy across the partnership area.  The East Lindsey Destination Management Action Plan set out the local delivery priorities for 2026 - 2030.

The DMP established a shared vision, four strategic priorities and five thematic pillars, alongside district-level delivery priorities for Boston, East Lindsey and South Holland.

The East Lindsey Action Plan translated this framework into a focused programme for East Lindsey.  It prioritised place quality, visitor experience, targeted marketing and sector development, with activity including stronger coast-to-Wolds positioning, improved public realm and visitor infrastructure, heritage and aviation tourism, year-round events and experiences, digital improvement, and business support.

Executive Board was asked to approve the DMP and Action Plan to provide a clear basis for delivery, partnership working and future investment.

Members were invited to put their comments and questions forward.

The Portfolio Holder for Community Safety, Leisure, Culture and Carbon Reduction expressed his full support for the report.

The Leader of the Council welcomed the report and described it as an excellent document.  He emphasised that the Plan was focused on delivery and practical outcomes rather than simply setting out aspirations.  Referring to the statement within the introduction that ‘South and East Lincolnshire is not a destination waiting to be discovered, but a destination ready to be recognised’, he considered this to be an accurate reflection of the area’s strengths and the opportunities that the Plan would unlock over the next four years.

The Leader further commented that the timing of the Plan was particularly appropriate, given the challenges arising from the closure of previous tourism organisations.  He welcomed the fact that the South & East Lincolnshire Councils Partnership was now taking ownership of this agenda and expressed confidence that the Plan would make a significant contribution to the Partnership’s future success.  He concluded by wishing the initiative every success.

Following which it was

RESOLVED

1.               That the South & East Lincolnshire Destination Management Plan 2026 - 2030 at Appendix A be approved;

2.               That the Destination Management Action Plan 2026 - 2030 at Appendix  ...  view the full minutes text for item 4.

To consider approval for spend for the next round of £10m for ELIF 2.

1.               That the success of ELIF 1 as identified in this report be noted;

2.               That approval be given to add the unallocated sum of £425,000 to ELIF 2;

3.               That the proposed activities and expenditure as identified in this report be approved;

4.               That delegation be granted to the Executive Director of Economic Development and Service Director theme leads in consultation with relevant portfolio holders to approve the justification case for each project and spend.

A report was presented to provide an update on the achievements so far through the spend of £10m for the East Lindsey Investment Fund (ELIF 1) and sought approval for spend for the next round of £10m for ELIF 2 as per the Council approval in March 2026.

In his introduction, the Portfolio Holder for Coastal Economy welcomed the opportunity to bring forward a further phase of investment through the East Lindsey Investment Fund (ELIF).  He described the report as another positive milestone for the Council, highlighting that ELIF 2 built on the significant success of the original £10 million investment programme.

It was noted that the Executive Board approved the £10m East Lindsey Investment Fund (ELIF 1) in September 2024 (minute no 112 refers) to support the priorities of making our places welcoming, supporting events and attracting visitors, community development, and supporting business growth.  Following the success of the first round, the Council approved the allocation of an additional £10m for ELIF 2 as part of the budget setting report in March 2026.

The report provided an update on the spend so far and highlighted the significantly positive impact the use of this fund has had on our communities and businesses.  It also identified the next set of projects and initiatives to build on the success of ELIF1 and to address the gaps in funding need.

The Portfolio Holder for Coastal Economy highlighted that at a time when many local authorities were reducing services and investment, East Lindsey District Council had been able to take a different approach through strong financial management, enabling continued investment in local communities, businesses and priorities.  He noted that ELIF provided the Council with the ability to direct funding towards projects that reflected the needs and aspirations of residents, rather than solely responding to funding opportunities determined by central government.

He further highlighted the considerable achievements delivered through ELIF 1, which had supported a wide range of community, tourism, business growth and place-based initiatives across the district.  He welcomed the proposal to carry forward the remaining unallocated £425,000 from the first programme into ELIF 2 and noted that the report set out a clear programme of investment supported by detailed funding allocations for each project area.

He welcomed the proposed expenditure plans for ELIF 2, which would continue to support community development, pride in place projects, tourism and events and business growth initiatives.  He considered the scale of the proposed investment to demonstrate the Council’s serious commitment to delivering tangible benefits for residents, businesses and communities across East Lindsey, helping to ensure that people could enjoy the best possible quality of life within the district.

Members were invited to put their comments and questions forward.

The Leader of the Council commented that the fund had been very well received across communities throughout the district.  He noted that it had enabled community groups and parish councils to make significant improvements within their local areas and at scale.  He acknowledged that although the programme had been  ...  view the full minutes text for item 5.

To agree acceptance of the Local Authority Housing Funding MHCLG has offered to the Council and to agree to match fund to enable the delivery of 2 Temporary and 1 Resettlement Homes. 

i)        That participation in the Local Authority Housing Fund Round 4 programme, with a view to bringing three properties into the council’s ownership to meet housing needs within the district be agreed;

ii)        That the approach to spend of the funds, including type, priority location and delivery, as articulated within the report be approved;

iii)       That the Service Director of Strategic Growth & Development, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder, be delegated to finalise and agree the terms of the MOU for the LAHF Round 4 programme with MHCLG and:

iv)       That Council be recommended to amend the 2026/27 capital programme to reflect the LAHF 4 funds required to match fund the Local Authority Housing Funding of £321,000 received with £420,000, from the council’s reserves giving a total scheme value of £741,000. 

A report was presented that sought agreement to accept the Local Authority Housing Funding MHCLG had offered to the Council and agreement to match fund to enable the delivery of 2 Temporary and 1 Resettlement Homes. 

In his introduction, Councillor Cllr William Gray, Portfolio Holder for Housing Communities and Better Ageing advised Members that in December 2025 an Expression of Interest (EOI) was approved and submitted to the Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government LAHF Round 4 programme for unallocated funding to provide 3 properties (2 for temporary accommodation and 1 for resettlement) to help meet the need for households requiring accessible and adapted properties to reduce the use of expensive bed and breakfast, hotel accommodation or unsuitable housing for those clients. 

Earlier this year the Council was contacted and informed that the submitted EOI was successful and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was to be signed and returned if the Council wished to accept the funding offered.

The report sought approval to take part in the LAHF Round 4 programme, accept the associated funds, agree a strategy for their spend, amend the council’s capital programme and seek delegation to officers to agree the terms of the MOU between the authority and MHCLG in relation to the LAHF4 funding.

The Portfolio Holder reminded Members that previous rounds of the programme had already delivered 23 homes, significantly improving the Council’s ability to meet housing need and reducing reliance on expensive bed and breakfast accommodation.

He highlighted that a number of former resettlement properties were now being used as temporary accommodation, increasing the Council’s temporary accommodation stock to 20 properties.  The programme had also generated notable savings in emergency accommodation costs while creating long-term housing assets for the Council.

The Portfolio Holder explained that the focus of Round 4 would be on providing accessible and adapted accommodation to meet growing demand from vulnerable residents with specialist housing needs.  He stated that the proposal would increase the availability of suitable homes, improve outcomes for homeless households and help reduce ongoing revenue pressures.  Subject to approval, officers would progress the funding agreement and bring detailed acquisition proposals back for consideration, with the aim of delivering the homes by March 2027.

The Portfolio Holder thanked the Service Director for Strategic Growth and Development and his team for their work in developing the proposal.  Particular recognition was given to the Strategic Housing Manager for the considerable planning and preparation undertaken over several months to bring the project forward.

The Portfolio Holder for Coastal Economy expressed his full support for the proposal and welcomed the work undertaken by officers.  Drawing on his previous experience working for a housing association, he recognised the importance of providing support to people who had fallen on difficult circumstances and required assistance to secure suitable accommodation.

He noted that current housing market conditions could potentially work to the Council’s advantage when acquiring properties through the scheme, helping to maximise the value of the investment.  He also reflected on the section of  ...  view the full minutes text for item 6.

To consider the 2025/26 Draft Finance Outturn Update.

1)       That the General Fund draft outturn position for 2025/26 being an underspend of £180k as detailed in Table 1 of Appendix A be noted;

2)       That the reserve transactions set out in Table 2b of Appendix A be approved;

3)       That the draft outturn capital position for 2025/26 as detailed in Appendix B – Table 1 be noted;

4)       That the rephasing of existing capital schemes into future financial years, as noted in paragraph 3.4 and outlined in Appendix B – Table 3 and 4 be approved.

A report was presented that set out a summary of the Council’s draft outturn position for 2025/26.  It was noted this position was subject to any final accounting adjustments as part of the year end process.

During his introduction, Councillor Kemp, Portfolio Holder for Finance advised that the Council had achieved a revenue underspend of £180,000 at year-end, reflecting effective budget management throughout the year.  He noted that the Council's efficiency savings target had been exceeded, with savings opportunities identified and delivered across services.

Members were advised that the Council's draft reserves balance stood at £38.7m as at 31 March 2026 and that treasury management activities had generated investment income of £2.881 m, exceeding the budget by £753k.

In relation to the capital programme, expenditure of £24.777m had been incurred against a revised budget of £45.771m.  The resulting variance was largely attributable to the rephasing of major projects, with £17.369m to be carried forward into future years to reflect revised delivery timescales and ensure approved funding remained available for project completion.

In conclusion, the Portfolio Holder stated that the outturn position demonstrated the Council's continued prudent and proactive approach to financial management.

Members were invited to put their comments and questions forward.

The Leader of the Council welcomed the positive outturn position and highlighted that the Council's strong financial management provided the foundation for delivering services, projects and support for local communities.  He commended the Portfolio Holder for Finance, the Section 151 Officer and the wider finance team for their work in maintaining robust financial control and ensuring the Council remained in a strong position to deliver its priorities.

Following which it was

RESOLVED

1)       That the General Fund draft outturn position for 2025/26 being an underspend of £180k as detailed in Table 1 of Appendix A be noted;

2)       That the reserve transactions set out in Table 2b of Appendix A be approved;

3)       That the draft outturn capital position for 2025/26 as detailed in Appendix B – Table 1 be noted;

4)       That the rephasing of existing capital schemes into future financial years, as noted in paragraph 3.4 and outlined in Appendix B – Table 3 and 4 be approved.

Reasons:

To ensure the Council’s forecast financial position for 2025/26 is considered and related decisions approved.  It is important that the Executive are aware of the financial position of the General Fund to ensure that they can make informed decisions that are affordable and financially sustainable for the Council.

Other options:

None.

To consider the Council’s Quarter 4 2025/26 Performance and Risk report.

That the performance and risk information contained within the report and appendices be noted.

Members received the quarterly report covering performance and risk information for Quarter 4 of 2025/26 (as at the end of March 2026).

Councillor Craig Leyland, Leader of the Council and Portfolio Holder for Corporate Affairs asked that Portfolio Holders noted the details for their specific areas and where relevant, considered any further action in respect to the performance and risk information contained within the appendices to the report presented. (Pages 97 to 127 of the Agenda refer).

The Leader of the Council noted that the report demonstrated strong overall performance, with the majority of indicators performing within expected levels.

Referring to the strategic risk register, he highlighted that only a small number of risks remained at the highest level and that clear mitigation measures and supporting narratives had been provided to explain their status.  He reminded Members that performance and risk management remained subject to ongoing monitoring by Portfolio Holders and regular scrutiny through the Council's governance arrangements, including the Overview Committee and Audit and Governance Committee.

Following which it was

RESOLVED

That the performance and risk information contained within the report and appendices be noted.

Reasons:

To monitor delivery of performance and governance objectives and to support future planning and decision making within the Council.

Other options:

Alternative reporting arrangements.

To agree consultation options for the local Council Tax Support scheme 2027/2028.

That consultation to retain the current Council Tax Support scheme, updated in line with the Department for Work and Pension (DWP) annual up-ratings for 2027/28 be approved.

A report was presented that provided an update on the current Local Council Tax Support scheme and sought approval to consult on the 2027/28 Council tax Support scheme. 

During his introduction, Councillor Tom Kemp, Portfolio Holder for Finance highlighted that the Council must review its local scheme each year and consult on its proposals for the forthcoming year.  Council Tax Support provided financial assistance through a reduction in Council Tax bills for households on a low income or receiving certain benefits.  Pension age residents were regulated by national rules in England and were not affected by any changes in this review.

The report provided an update on the current scheme and sought Executive Board approval to consult on the 2027/28 Council tax Support scheme. 

East Lindsey District Council recently conducted a comprehensive review of its scheme, ensuring that the current scheme aligned with its objectives and remained financially viable.  Maintaining this scheme for 2027/28, adjusted in accordance with the Department for Work and Pensions’ uprating for 2027/28, would ensure continuity for claimants. 

He explained that, given the forthcoming Local Government Reorganisation and the need for stability for claimants, the preferred option was to retain the existing scheme and apply the annual Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) upratings for 2027/28.  This would maintain consistency with welfare benefit rates and provide certainty for residents receiving support.

Members were advised that the report sought approval to consult on this option only, with a further report to be presented following consultation before a final recommendation was made to Full Council.

Members were invited to put their comments and questions forward.

The Portfolio Holder for Partnerships expressed her support for the proposed consultation, highlighting the importance of the Council's ongoing commitment to supporting vulnerable residents.  She noted that the Council's Council Tax Support Scheme provided valuable assistance to those in need and confirmed her support for the recommendation.

Following which, it was

RESOLVED

That consultation to retain the current Council Tax Support scheme, updated in line with the Department for Work and Pension (DWP) annual up-ratings for 2027/28 be approved.

Reasons:

Following a fundamental review, changes were implemented from April 2025. The current scheme provides an affordable level of support while recognising the ongoing impact of the cost of living on residents.  Continuing the current scheme would ensure stability and consistency for affected households.

Other Options:

To retain the current scheme, as is, without uprating in line with DWP.

Report to follow.

1.               That an extension of the policies/strategies listed at Appendix A be agreed to 31st March 2028 where their current expiry date is sooner;

2.               That delegation be approved to Service Directors, in consultation with the relevant Portfolio Holder and Monitoring Officer, to update the policies at Appendix A as might be required to accommodate minor or non-material amendments, and consequential amendments where there has been a change in legislation requiring an amendment.

This delegation will cease to have effect if Local Government Reorganisation does not proceed.

A report was presented to enable the proposed approach to future strategy / policy review and development in the lead up to Local Government Reorganisation.  Given the anticipated timeline for Local Government Reorganisation (LGR), the report proposed a refined and proportionate approach to the management of the Council’s strategies and policies during the transition period to 2028.

Councillor Craig Leyland, Leader of the Council in presenting the report made reference to the proposal and highlighted that this only applied to policies outside the Policy Framework (reserved for Council), as identified at Appendix A, pages 7 to 10 of the Supplementary Agenda refer.

It proposed that minor or non-material amendments and consequential amendments where there had been a change in legislation requiring an amendment to these policies, were delegated to Service Directors, in consultation with the relevant Portfolio Holder and Monitoring Officer, removing the need for these changes to progress through the full Scrutiny and Executive Board for approval.

This approach sought to maintain strong governance while ensuring proportionality and freeing up capacity to focus on LGR.

Members were invited to put their comments and questions forward.

The Portfolio Holder for Community Safety, Leisure and Culture and Carbon Reduction welcomed the proposal, describing it as a sensible and pragmatic approach in advance of LGR.  He noted that extending the review periods for relevant policies and delegating minor amendments would provide clarity, reduce unnecessary administrative work and avoid undertaking reviews that may need to be revisited as part of future local government arrangements.  He considered the proposals to represent a common-sense approach and confirmed his support for the recommendations.

RESOLVED

1.               That an extension of the policies/strategies listed at Appendix A be agreed to 31st March 2028 where their current expiry date is sooner;

2.               That delegation be approved to Service Directors, in consultation with the relevant Portfolio Holder and Monitoring Officer, to update the policies at Appendix A as might be required to accommodate minor or non-material amendments, and consequential amendments where there has been a change in legislation requiring an amendment.

This delegation will cease to have effect if Local Government Reorganisation does not proceed.

Reasons:

Many of the policies are unlikely to require significant change between now and Local Government Re-organisation (assuming a 2028 timeline).

Local Government Reorganisation will place a significant pressure on the Council’s internal capacity and the approach set out in this report will alleviate some of that pressure to focus on Reorganisation.

Other Options:

Not to approve the approach set out and to request the current strategy and policy review schedule remain.

To consider adoption of Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans for Alford, Horncastle, Spilsby and Wainfleet and the introduction of an Article 4 Direction for land in Horncastle.

1.       That the adoption of the Alford Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan (Attached at Appendix 1), including the revised Alford Conservation Area boundary (Attached at Appendix 2) be approved;

2.       That the adoption of the Horncastle Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan (Attached at Appendix 3), including the revised Horncastle Conservation Area boundary (Attached at Appendix 4) be approved;

3.       That should recommendation 2 be approved; the making of  an Article 4(1) Direction with immediate effect to remove the permitted development rights as set out in Appendix 9 on land at Granary House, Station Lane, Horncastle, LN9 5SD including the garage to 11 Barley Way, Horncastle, LN9 5SS be approved;

4.       That delegated authority be granted to the Service Director for Planning, in consultation with the relevant Portfolio Holder, to determine whether to confirm the Article 4(1) Direction with Immediate Effect following public consultation;

5.       That the adoption of the Spilsby Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan (Attached at Appendix 5), including the revised Spilsby Conservation Area boundary (Attached at Appendix 6) be approved;

6.       That the adoption of the Wainfleet Conservation Area Appraisal and Management Plan (Attached at Appendix 7), including the revised Wainfleet Conservation Area boundary (Attached at Appendix 8) be approved.

On behalf of the Portfolio Holder for Planning, the Leader of the Council presented a report that detailed four Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans for Adoption and a proposal to introduce an Article 4 Direction for land in Horncastle.

Presented were the final versions of Alford, Horncastle, Spilsby and Wainfleet Conservation Area Appraisals and Management Plans.  The Appraisals all recommended boundary changes to ensure the Conservation Areas retained their special architectural and historic interest.  The documents had undergone full public consultation and the comments received during consultation had been considered and where possible incorporated into the final documents.  If adopted, as required by law in the Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 (as amended), the decision would then be published in both the local press and the London Gazette, and updates made to the land charges register.

The revised Horncastle Conservation Area boundary removed a large area of modern housing.  Most of this area did not add to the conservation area’s special interest, but it included the Granary warehouse, which was a heritage asset.  If the area was removed, the Granary could be demolished through Prior Approval.  To keep its existing level of protection, an Article 4(1) Direction was proposed so planning permission would still be required for demolition.

Members were invited to put their comments and questions forward.

The Portfolio Holder for Community Safety, Leisure and Culture and Carbon Reduction stated that the matter fell within his ward and confirmed that consultation had taken place on several occasions with both the Town Council and the local community, including community meetings.  He commented that the proposals had been subject to extensive discussion and scrutiny and had been well received by residents.

The Portfolio Holder for Housing, Communities and Better Ageing stated that he had attended the consultation event in Horncastle and as a local resident, had taken a particular interest in the proposals.  He further advised that he had been present at both Overview Committee meetings where the report had been considered and that the proposals had been well received.  He commended the Heritage Manager for the extensive consultation and engagement undertaken, highlighting the detailed explanations provided regarding the proposed changes and the work carried out.  He considered that a significant amount of the report's success was attributable to her efforts and expressed his appreciation for what he described as a tremendous piece of work.  He further commented that the amendments proposed for Horncastle were sensible and reflected feedback received from residents.  He concluded by stating that it was a very good report and that he was pleased to support the paper.

The Leader of the Council echoed the comments made in support of the report and officers involved.  He commended the Heritage Manager for her dedication and extensive knowledge, noting that the depth of detail and expertise she brought to such matters was clear in her presentations and contributions.

Following which it was

To consider approval of the South and East Lincolnshire Traditional Building Design Guide.

That the South and East Lincolnshire Traditional Buildings Design Guide attached as Appendix 1 be approved.

On behalf of the Portfolio Holder for Planning, the Leader of the Council presented a report to enable consideration of the South and East Lincolnshire Traditional Building Design Guide.

The South and East Lincolnshire Traditional Building Design Guide was a guide to encourage thoughtful design when dealing with the historic environment.  It could be used to show the Councils’ intent and provide direction as a placeholder during consideration of a future Local Plan and possibility of design codes.  It highlighted topics such as: Design Principles, Building Elements such as; Windows, Doors, Walls, Roofs, Rainwater Goods, Finishes, Renewables, Biodiversity, Lighting, Extensions, New Builds and Shopfronts as well as a chapter on how to submit an application.  This document was also being taken through approvals at Boston Borough Council and East Lindsey District Council as a shared document.

Members were invited to put their comments and questions forward.

The Portfolio Holder for Coastal Economy commented on the challenges faced by owners of historic and listed buildings, particularly within town centres.  He noted that there could be tensions between heritage and planning requirements aimed at preserving historic features and other regulatory requirements relating to housing standards and energy efficiency.  He acknowledged the frustration often expressed by building owners and landlords who sought to improve the comfort and energy performance of their properties while complying with conservation requirements.  Whilst recognising these difficulties, he emphasised the importance of protecting historic buildings for future generations.  He further noted that balancing heritage protection with wider housing and energy efficiency objectives remained a significant challenge for both the Council and property owners and that finding an appropriate long-term solution was not straightforward.

The Portfolio Holder for Community Safety, Leisure and Culture and Carbon Reduction highlighted the challenges of balancing heritage protection with energy efficiency and accessibility improvements.  He considered that modern materials could often replicate traditional designs whilst delivering practical benefits and suggested that these issues should be explored further through the planning policy process.  He added that the emerging Local Plan presented an opportunity to consider improved design standards and to work with developers to identify practical and cost-effective solutions.

Following which, it was

RESOLVED

That the South and East Lincolnshire Traditional Buildings Design Guide attached as Appendix 1 be approved.

Reasons:

The document demonstrates the Council’s commitment to protect and enhance the built environment of the District.

It can be used as evidence in future Local Plan Plans and aims to support enhancement of our historic areas in line with our statutory duties through The Planning (Listed Building and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 and in line with the National Planning Policy Framework and National Planning Policy Guidance.

The document can be used to guide building owners, developers, investors, planning applicants, agents and consultants in making informed decisions.

The document shows why heritage should form a huge part of our future vision of our places and recognises that there are opportunities to compliment and capitalise on existing momentum and processes to deliver investment by championing heritage  ...  view the full minutes text for item 12.
