Summary of planning committee decision
Decided by North Lincs Planning Committee on 26 Aug 2026.
What was proposed
Outline permission was sought for one self-build dwelling, with access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale reserved for later approval.
“ASSESSMENT Site and proposal This application is for outline planning permission for one self-build dwelling, with details of landscaping, appearance, layout, scale and access reserved for subsequent consideration.”
Officer report
What officers recommended
Officers recommended approval because the dwelling would be acceptable in principle and would not unacceptably affect character, highways or neighbouring amenity.
“Conclusion It is considered that this proposed residential development is acceptable in principle and lies within the development boundary of Wrawby. The proposal would not have an unacceptable impact on the character of the area, highway safety or the amenity of neighbouring residential properties. It is considered that the proposal is acceptable and therefore approval is recommended subject to conditions.”
“RECOMMENDATION Grant permission subject to the following conditions: The development for which permission is hereby granted must not be begun before details showing the access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale (hereinafter referred to as 'the reserved matters') have been submitted to and approved by the local planning authority. The development shall be carried out in accordance with the approved reserved matters details.”

The highway authority raised no major concerns, while drainage, contamination and sewer matters were addressed through advice and conditions.
“CS5 Delivering quality design in North Lincolnshire CS7 Overall housing provision CS8 Spatial distribution of housing sites CS19 Flood risk Housing and Employment Land Allocations Development Plan Document: PS1 Presumption in favour of sustainable development Settlement inset map 47 – Wrawby CONSULTATIONS Local Highway Authority (LHA): No major concerns regarding this proposal – the existing access would be able to accommodate two dwellings.”
“If the proposed surface water management scheme includes interaction with Severn Trent Water operated assets, we would wish to be re-consulted. Environmental Protection: Historical mapping has not identified a former land use that may give rise to contamination. However, due to the proposed sensitive end use, a condition on unexpected contamination is recommended. PARISH COUNCIL No objections.”
