North Lincolnshire Council has refused outline planning permission for four new-build semi-detached and detached dwellings in Wrawby.
The application related to land adjacent to Hillborn House, on Brigg Road.
Wrawby Parish Council objected, saying the development would be "outside the agreed Wrawby building line."
North Lincolnshire planners said the proposal would be detrimental to the character and appearance of the countryside.
Anyone refused planning permission has the right to lodge an appeal.
