Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would amount to the creation of separate dwellings in the countryside
Whether the proposal would be suitably located, having regard to the nature of the accommodation proposed and relevant national and local planning policy regarding development in the countryside

What decided it

The proposal was for ancillary annex accommodation with a functional relationship to the main dwelling rather than separate dwellings, and any future separation would require a further application, allowing the appeal to proceed on the basis of the development applied for.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP1, Policy LP2, Policy LP26, Policy LP55, Central Lincolnshire Local Plan (April 2017)

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
