Why it was refused
- The proposed development, if allowed, would result in the formation of vehicular passing places and localised road widening works and could result in damage to highway edges and verges to the detriment of this very narrow, rural country lane and the character of the attractive countryside within which it is set. The development would also have an adverse impact on the setting and hence the significance of the Registered Winceby Battlefield. These harms would not be outweighed by the benefits of the scheme and so would be contrary to SP10, SP11 and SP23 in the East Lindsey Local Plan.
From the council's decision notice.
