About this application

This is a planning application for a new dwelling at Plot 7 Land Off Tothby Lane Alford Lincolnshire. East Lindsey has handled 6,571 applications of this type. This one was decided in 64 days. There are no previous applications recorded at this address. In the past year there have been 33 applications across Alford.

Why it was refused

  1. The proposed dwellings if approved would appear as a cramped, tandem form of development lacking the spacious setting of their neighbours and out of character with the established grain and pattern of development in the area. This would be unacceptable and harmful to the character and visual amenities of the area contrary to SP10 of the East APPLICATION NUMBER – 00486/26/FUL APFULZ Lindsey Local Plan and Policy 10 in the Alford Neighbourhood Plan. This harm would significantly and demonstrably outweigh any benefits of providing these two dwellings.

From the council's decision notice.
