Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupants of surrounding residential properties with regard to outlook and amenity space
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with specific regard to amenity space
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions that would be provided for future occupants, combined with moderate harm to area character and neighbouring outlook, collectively outweighed the modest housing benefit of the proposal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP26 of the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan (2017)
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.
