Planning committee

Decided by South Kesteven Planning Committee on 6 Aug 2026.

Approved

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised approval because the four homes were acceptable in principle, would not harm character or amenity, and raised no highway safety objection.
  • The parish council and neighbours raised concerns about cramped development, overlooking, the public footpath and traffic.
  • The committee agreed to grant permission subject to conditions, including permanent diversion of the public footpath before Plot C is occupied.

Site constraints 5

Habitat network: Network Enhancement Zone 2
Where habitat is joined up enough to work as a network. Context, not a constraint on its own.
Radon affected area, class 6
An estimated 30% or more of homes reach the radon action level. Indicative for the 1 km square, which takes the highest class found in it; a radon test gives the answer for a building.
From the British Geological Survey and UK Health Security Agency indicative atlas. Under building regulations, as the BRE guide BR 211 (2023) sets out, new buildings and extensions need basic radon protection from class 3 in England and Wales and from class 2 in Scotland, and full protection from class 5. The class at the site itself, from the detailed BGS map, decides which.
UKHSA radon ↗
5 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: War Memorial, Grade II, 58 m away · 5 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.

Historic England ↗
Also on the record
Inside the Colsterworth built-up area; Natural England's Provisional ALC map (1:250,000, 1970s) had this area as grade 3, but it predates the buildings here and the current map does not class it as farmland.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · Not green belt · No scheduled monument at the site
