Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by introducing imposing, overtly urban brick piers and railings that would erode the semi-rural, verdant character of the streetscene, conflicting with the development plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy S53 of the Central Lincolnshire Local Plan (April 2023)Policy 9 of the A Neighbourhood Plan for Sudbrooke 2018-2036 (made 2019)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
