PLAN FOR NEW PROPERTY ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF BRIGG REFUSED

Permission to build a new dwelling on the outskirts of Brigg has been refused by council planners.
The intention was to remove a building once used as a piggery and replace it with a dwelling/log cabin.
The application was for land adjacent to Roselyn, on Westrum Lane, Brigg - just over the county border.
However, West Lindsey District Council refused the application within its Kelsey Ward.
The council's reasons for refusal included:

• The site being "in an unsustainable open countryside  location" and no justification, or evidence, being submitted to demonstrate that the proposed dwelling is essential to the effective operation of a rural operation.
• The  proposal  would  by  virtue  of  its  scale  and  design  "create  a dominating  and  incongruous  feature  in  the  open  countryside  which  would not respect the landscape character and identity."

Anyone refused planning permission has the right to lodge an appeal against the decision if they wish to do so.
