THE LOCATION
Location Plan
Existing House
Louth itself is located on the eastern edge but outside of the
Lincolnshire Wolds, an area designated in 1973 as an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Louth is a thriving market
town of around 15,000 people with a high quality conservation
area, shops, cinema, small museum, attractive parish church,
restaurants and pubs. It is also the home of East Lindsey
Lawns and Gardens
North East Field
The house at Brackenborough Lawn is located in the
north-western corner of the site and is a grand two-storey
property. The remainder of the site is currently either laid out
as gardens, grass paddocks or woodland. There is an existing
pond to the south east of the house. The site is well enclosed
and is also well screened by existing mature trees and
woodland. These mature trees and the woodland define the site
and therefore proposed new planting to provide enhanced
screening will not be out of character with the site.
The site is currently used as a private residence and the
attached paddocks are grazed by horses and cattle. The total
site area is some 35.5 acres gross. However, only 22.9 acres
(9.5 ha) will be developed for leisure/holiday purposes.
Woodland Area and Pond
Western Field
The site is ideally located, being on the edge of (but not within)
the AONB and at the edge of the settlement of Louth with its
amenities and services. In addition, there are good transport
links to other parts of Lincolnshire via the A16, as well as regular
bus services.
To the north of the site, there is an established small hotel and
restaurant. It is considered that this business would benefit from
the proposals through an increase in visitor numbers in the
immediate locality.
