A plan to build two homes behind a pub in Caythorpe has been rejected.
Councillor Helen Powell told a meeting of the development control committee at South Kesteven District Council this week that building the two semi-detached houses on land behind the Waggon & Horses could close the business down.
The plan calls for the building of the homes on the current car park and a new car park to be built over part of the garden at the back of the pub. The new car park would still have 17 parking spaces, including two for disabled drivers, plus an extra four designated for the two properties.
Coun Judy Stevens said that villages needed smaller houses. She said it was a ‘shame’ that the plan wasn’t better.
Coun Mike Cook said a revised plan with the houses further back from the road might be better.
