Will Haven Leisure lodge appeal after planners say 'no' to Thorpe Park outdoor activities zone?

Residents of neighbouring Humberston Fitties have not taken kindly to the development 

                                                          

BOSSES at Haven Leisure will this week be mulling whether to appeal against last Wednesday's decision by North East Council to refuse retrospective planning consent for the outdoor activities area at their Thorpe Village holiday village in Humberston.

Because it takes many months before appeals are considered, it would enable them to operate the activities during the 2023 holiday season.

Indeed, the zone was open for activities last weekend.

Members of NELC's planning committee turned down the application against the recommendation of the case officer.

The precise words of the refusal notice are as follows: 

"The development by reason of noise and disturbance is detrimental to local amenity and in particular to users of the Humberston Fitties site. 

"This resultant noise and disturbance is also detrimental to the Humberston Fitties Conservation Area."
