Planning committee

Decided by South Kesteven Planning Committee on 16 Apr 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised approval because six homes would provide housing and the identified harm would not outweigh the benefits.
  • Speakers raised concerns about heritage, traffic, local need, trees, privacy and ecology, while the agent supported the proposal.
  • The committee rejected the approval proposal and resolved to refuse permission because of heritage and character harm.

Site constraints 5

National infrastructure project about 639 m away: Mallard Pass Solar Project
The site is about 639 m from the project boundary. Generating station, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted.
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.

Also on the record

Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 October 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area. Historic England, the Environment Agency, Natural England, the Planning Inspectorate, the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency (radon, contains BGS materials © UKRI) and council datasets, Open Government Licence. A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
