Authority: North East Lincolnshire Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Change of use
Inspector: Brooker M
Postcode: DN40 3BA

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development with regards the Council's spatial development strategy
The effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area
Whether or not the appeal scheme would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers
Whether or not the appeal scheme would harm highway safety with particular regards to the visibility splays and the number of vehicles accessing the site

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole and the benefits of four additional dwellings do not outweigh the identified harms to spatial strategy, character and appearance, living conditions and highway safety.

The provision of four additional dwellings was afforded some weight but did not outweigh the harm identified in relation to spatial strategy, character and appearance, living conditions and highway safety.
