®Planning appeal decision
Land East of Barton Road, Wrawby
Planning appeal 3262314 at Land East of Barton Road, Wrawby (North Lincolnshire Council) was dismissed on 21 June 2021 by Inspector Cragg D, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area.
40 dwellings on land to the east of Barton Road, Wrawby, with the matter of access to be considered at this stage. Whilst being reserved for formal detailed consideration at the Reserved Matters stage, the application explains how matters relating to scale and layout are expected to be proposed in due course with landscape, archaeology, ecology, flood risk and surface water drainage matters all being assessed in principle as part of the submission to show that these do not present fundamental constraints

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- if harm arises, whether in the overall planning balance this would be outweighed by other considerations including housing land supply
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the rural setting of the village, which substantially and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and other material considerations even when the tilted balance was applied.
the substantial harm to character and appearance and the rural setting of the village, given significant weight, substantially and demonstrably outweighed the substantial positive weight attached to housing delivery, the moderate positive weight to housing mix and affordable housing, the moderate positive weight to environmental benefits in relation to services and facilities, and the limited weight to economic benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
