Our Vision for Homes and Communities By Councillor Wright, Leader of North Kesteven District Council
Housing is more than bricks and mortar, it is the foundation of thriving communities and a resilient local economy. At North Kesteven District Council, we have always believed that strong local leadership is the key to delivering homes that people need, in places they want to live.
As I have said previously: “Local leadership is essential. It gets homes built, creates jobs and helps people overcome hardship.”
That principle underpins our commitment to the Lafford Group. As the council-owned housing company, the Lafford Group plays a vital role in meeting the district’s housing needs and shaping its future. It was created to do more than build houses, it was designed to create choice, quality, and sustainability for generations to come.

Driving Growth and Diversification
The Lafford Group has grown significantly since its inception. What began as a provider of high-quality rental homes has evolved into a property developer offering new homes for private sale, alongside affordable rental options.
This diversification is a deliberate step to give local people more choice – whether they are looking to rent, buy, or downsize and to ensure that every development contributes to a balanced, vibrant community.
Our Commitments
- Quality and Sustainability: Every home is designed with energy efficiency and net-zero aspirations in mind.
- Choice and Affordability: A mix of rental and private sale homes to meet diverse needs.
- Community Resilience: Developments that foster connection, wellbeing, and long-term value.
Recent schemes such as Orford Avenue in Waddington and Old Quarry Close in Metheringham show what is possible when thoughtful design meets environmental responsibility. These projects demonstrate how Lafford Homes is “raising the bar” for local housing—delivering homes that people want to live in, in places they want to be.
