An application setting out detailed particulars of a development creating up to 48 new homes in the Brigg area has been refused planning permission by North Lincolnshire Council.
Three years ago the local authority granted outline approval for new housing near the B1207, Station Road, Hibaldstow.
But a follow-up application setting out the access, appearance, landscaping, layout and scale of this development has now been refused.
It was considered by North Lincolnshire Council's Planning Committee at its December meeting.
The authority informed the applicant's agent: "Insufficient information has been submitted to determine that the proposed layout is acceptable in relation to the provision of an adequate surface water drainage scheme."
Anyone refused planning permission by a local council has the option to lodge an appeal, to be undertaken by a Government-appointed inspector.
