Independent inspector backs NELC's decision to refuse consent for 120 new homes in New Waltham

The paddock that had been earmarked for up to 120 homes 


A CONTROVERSIAL proposal for up to 120 homes to be built in New Waltham has been knocked on the head.

When North East Lincolnshire Council planners refused consent for the development off  Station Road, Snape Properties Ltd and Lydia Tyler appealed to the Planning Inspectorate for the decision to be overturned.

But after a hearing, the appeal inspector upheld NELC's decision and dismissed the appeal.

The site is a paddock on New Waltham's boundary with Waltham opposite Newgrove House care home.

In his report on the matter, the appeal inspector, Mr R. Sabu says: "The proposal would include a significant amount of  built development along with  domestic paraphernalia and hard landscaping."
