Planning committee

Decided by West Lindsey Planning Committee on 10 Dec 2025.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the three homes were considered acceptable in principle and on design, amenity, highways, ecology and drainage subject to conditions.
  • The Parish Council raised concerns about the unallocated site, narrow access, construction traffic, road safety and local infrastructure.
  • The committee voted to grant permission, with an amendment to the wildlife condition removing the reference to closed-panel fences.
