Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would encroach beyond the established built form of the village into the open countryside resulting in a scale of domesticated development that would have a suburbanising effect on the character and appearance of the semi-rural landscape, having a significant visual impact on the character of the protected landscape of the Lincolnshire Wolds National Landscape, conflicting with the purposes of including land within this designation. The proposal would be contrary to Polices SP10 and SP23 of the East Lindsey Local Plan and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework including Section 12 of the Framework, which states that new development should be of high quality design and contribute positively to making places better. APPLICATION NUMBER – 03798/25/PIP APFULZ Accordingly, given the very sensitive nature of the site within the protected landscape just outside the developed area of the village, the site is not suitable in principle in terms of location, land use and amount for a residential development with a maximum number of 6 dwellings.

From the council's decision notice.
