Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development / works would preserve the grade II listed 5 and 6, Lindum Terrace or its setting and any features of special architectural or historic interest that it possesses and whether the scheme would preserve or enhance the City of Lincoln Conservation Area No 3 – Lindum and Arboretum Conservation Area
What decided it
The scale and highly contemporary appearance of the solar panels would have a dominant and visually conflicting effect on the listed building, causing less than substantial harm to its significance and that of the conservation area, which could not be justified by the modest environmental benefits of the scheme.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP18Policy S57
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 205Paragraph 164
