Why it was refused
- The National Planning Policy Framework, paragraph 83 calls for new residential development to be located in villages where it will enhance or maintain the vitality of rural communities. In this case due to the lack of retail, educational and health facilities and employment opportunities, Little Cawthorpe is an unsustainable location. The site is in a countryside location where, in paragraph 84, there is a presumption against new housing in these countryside locations unless special circumstances dictate otherwise. In this case there are no special circumstances. The proposal is therefore contrary to national planning policy. It would also undermine the spatial strategy of the Local Plan, result in environmental harm through increased car reliance contrary to objectives of SP1 and SP2 of the East Lindsey Local Plan and the aims of the National Planning Policy Framework. Notwithstanding the lack of a five year supply of deliverable housing sites, the development would cause unacceptable and demonstrable harm to the spatial strategy and APPLICATION NUMBER – 02494/25/FUL APFULZ environment contrary to SP1 and SP2 of the East Lindsey Local Plan and the National Planning Policy Framework. The proposed development would not therefore constitute sustainable development as laid down by paragraph 11 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
From the council's decision notice.
