demolition of existing dwelling along with associated outbuildings and erect replacement dwelling with attached garage

Authority: West Lindsey District Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Cooper W

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be a suitable replacement dwelling in the countryside, having regard to a) its effect on the character and appearance of the area, and b) the development plan's spatial strategy and rural development policies, with particular regard to size of replacement dwellings in the countryside

What decided it

The proposed replacement dwelling substantially exceeds the size and scale of the existing bungalow and would fail to meet the requirement of Policy LP55 Part B criterion d for replacement dwellings in the countryside to be of similar size and scale to the original dwelling.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP2, Policy LP17, Policy LP26, Policy LP55

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.
