Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be consistent with the Council's development strategy concerning the location of new residential development
What decided it
The proposal constitutes backland development without a substantially built-up frontage and therefore conflicts with Policy SP3 of the Local Plan, which requires development in Smaller Villages to be located within a substantially built-up frontage.
The benefits associated with the proposal, including housing supply and heritage improvements, would not outweigh the harm arising from conflict with the specific locational expectations intended to guide new residential development in Smaller Villages in South Kesteven District
Plan policies cited: Policy SP2, Policy SP3, Policy SP4
