Why it was refused

  1. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed form of residential ribbon development, comprising of a minimum of 1 dwelling and a maximum of 9 dwellings, would result in inappropriate land use in this open countryside location, detached from the built-up part of Bilsthorpe, in an area characterised by agricultural, recreational and industrial uses. Whilst the proposal would result in some benefits, including contributing to the Council's five-year housing land supply and generate some economic benefits, these benefits would be limited, and the adverse impacts of the development would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies of the National Planning Policy Framework as a whole. The proposal does not therefore represent a sustainable form of development and is contrary to the guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework, Spatial Policy 1 of the Amended Core Strategy and Policy DM8 of the Allocations and Development Management DPD

From the council's decision notice.
