Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development, with particular regard to the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including the effect on the landscape and scenic beauty of the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape

What decided it

The confirmed shortfall in five-year housing land supply, which engaged the tilted balance and meant that the localised and moderate harm to character and appearance was outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery.

The localised and moderate harm to the character and appearance of the area through encroachment into agricultural land was outweighed by the delivery of between 2 and 6 new dwellings in the context of a confirmed shortfall in five-year housing land supply, applying the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11 of the Framework.
