Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on community health and well-being as a result of the irreversible loss of land allocated for sport and recreation in the North East Lincolnshire Local Plan

What decided it

The Inspector concluded that the proposal would not cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance or to community health and well-being, so it accorded with the development plan and benefited from the presumption in favour of sustainable development given the housing land supply shortfall.

minor adverse impacts, in terms of minor loss of openness of the golf course, would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery in an area of shortfall, which also potentially protects the long-term retention of the Golf Club as a sport and recreation facility
