Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, having particular regard to the site's location within the Lincolnshire Wolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and the setting of Corner Cottage, a grade II listed building
What decided it
The combination of the fence's length, height and solid massing creates a harmful hard edge that conflicts with the rural character of the AONB and the setting of the listed building, and the limited private benefits to the appellant do not outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- LP17LP25LP26
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 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.
