Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development, with regard to the Council's housing strategy
  • the effect of the proposed development on the Lincoln Cliff Area of Great Landscape Value

What decided it

The appeal site falls outside the defined developed footprint of Harmston and the proposal for open market dwellings conflicts with Policy S4's housing strategy for Medium Villages, combined with the detrimental effect on the character and openness of the Lincoln Cliff Area of Great Landscape Value.
