The Rotherham couple - keen to enhance charm of the Fitties

A COUPLE have spoken out after being granted planning permission to develop a vacant plot at the Humberston Fitties chalet park.

Some other chalet owners have been critical of the proposed design at Plot 176, but Mr and Mrs D. Stoker, of Rotherham, have sought to reassure them.

In a message posted on social media, they wrote:  "Although we are happy at  the consent decision made at the North East Lincolnshire Council, planning committee, we know there a lot who are not. 

"We do understand some of the opposing comments, but we want to reassure you that we are not proposing to build a monstrosity.

"We have worked alongside our architect, Matt Deakins, to ensure we have done everything correctly in respect of scale and materials.

"We are proud of the finished plans which most of you will have seen."

The couple say they will also be be researching plants and shrubs to establish which are most likely to be most beneficial to songbirds, butterflies and other wildlife. 

"Our intention is  to enhance the beauty of the Fitties and build something which will be there for future generations to come and enjoy. 

"Although we cannot speak for the other plot owners,  they surely want precisely the same thing."

"We are normal, hardworking good people who will do everything by the book to make sure the chalet will be right." 

The couple say that work is unlikely to start on constructing the chalet until the New Year.
