Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the use is acceptable in terms of its location taking into account Policy 1 of the South East Lincolnshire Local Plan 2019
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including landscape character
What decided it
The appellant failed to justify why the furniture restoration business needed to be located in this remote countryside location rather than within a defined settlement boundary, contrary to Policy 1 of the SELLP.
The limited environmental and potential economic benefits of the furniture restoration use were outweighed by the failure to accord with the development plan's spatial strategy and the potential for limited harm to the character and appearance of the countryside area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 1 of the South East Lincolnshire Local Plan 2019Policy 2 of the South East Lincolnshire Local Plan 2019Policy 3 of the South East Lincolnshire Local Plan 2019
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
