Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Kirton in Lindsey Conservation Area
What decided it
The use of modern uPVC materials and forward-fixing construction in the windows and door, which contrast with the traditional timber construction and architectural detailing characteristic of the building and conservation area, results in less than substantial harm that is not outweighed by the limited public benefits of improved insulation and reduced maintenance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS6 of the North Lincolnshire Local Development Framework Core Strategy [2011]Policy HE2 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan [2003]
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 202
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.
