Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for development having regard to national and local planning policies

What decided it

The absence of demonstrable exceptional circumstances to justify development in a location outside the developed footprint of Ruskington, contrary to Policy LP2 of the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan.

The limited benefits of the proposed park homes to the housing stock and small economic and social benefits did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan in the absence of exceptional circumstances.
