Scartho Top

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Scartho Top is a development of houses in the south Grimsby area of North East Lincolnshire, England . Construction started in the mid 1990s and the aim is to eventually build 2,100 houses in an area of 169 acres, with a population of 7,000. A further 40-plus acres has been designated as open space. There are plans to have a separate community with village shops, a school and possibly a pub, in the next few years. Phase one of the project provided over 500 houses and the current phase two will add another 315 homes.

The land was part of Scartho parish until it was absorbed by Grimsby in 1928 and was the site of Scartho Top Farm. It now forms part of the Scartho ward of North East Lincolnshire Council. On its northern edge is the Nunsthorpe Estate and to the south is the Springfield Estate. To the east is the Diana Princess of Wales Hospital, while to the west lies the boundary between Grimsby and the parish of Bradley. This boundary marks the extent of the planned development.
