Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would be contrary to the requirements of SP13 of the East Lindsey Local Plan which seeks to safeguard the Tattershall Road Industrial Estate as an employment site wherein the expectation is for use as B1, (now incorporated within Class E), B2 and B8 purposes. The proposed development would result in the loss of the site for such purposes and the potential loss of established local businesses to the detriment of the sustainable credentials and requirements of the village. Furthermore, the proposed building by reason of its general form, massing, scale and proximity would be unneighbourly to outlook from adjacent residential properties on Hotchkin Gardens adversely impacting on the amenity enjoyed by occupiers of those dwellings. The proposal APPLICATION NUMBER – 03301/25/FUL APFULZ would therefore be contrary to requirements of SP10 of the East Lindsey Local Plan and the NPPF.

From the council's decision notice.
