Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed dwelling would be energy efficient
  • whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development with respect to the spatial strategy and the effect on the character and appearance of the area including trees and the Welbourn Conservation Area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it

The proposed dwelling failed to demonstrate that it would be energy efficient in accordance with Central Lincolnshire Local Plan Policies S6 and S7, with inadequate justification for design choices, incomplete calculations, and unsubstantiated renewable energy generation claims.

Plan policies cited: Policy S6, Policy S7, Policy S4, Policy S53, Policy S57, Policy S66, Policy S59
