| Cllr Freeston - unhappy with hotel conversion plan |
WARD councillor Oliver Freeston has voiced his opposition to a Suffolk developer's controversial application to convert the former Comat Hotel in Yarra Road, Cleethorpes, to two houses in multiple occupation.
In a memo to North East Lincolnshire Council planners, he says: "I strongly object to the proposed change of use.
"This area is a valued seaside tourist destination.
"Introducing a minimum of 14 full time residents (assuming single occupancy in each unit) will significantly alter the character and dynamic of the area.
"The road is already narrow and suffers from limited parking, a problem frequently raised by local residents.
"Increasing residential density in this manner will worsen congestion and create further issues for both locals and visitors."
Cllr Freeston (Reform UK, Croft Baker) continues: "Additionally, the property is in close proximity to a primary school, and without clear information about who will be housed in these HMOs, this raises understandable concerns about the suitability of the location for such a development.
"The risk of increased noise, antisocial behaviour and strain on local infrastructure is not acceptable in an area that should be preserved for tourism and family oriented community life.
"I oppose this application on the grounds of noise, inadequate parking, loss of tourism character and the unsuitability of this type of accommodation in such a sensitive and community-focused area."
The application by Danny Bloomfield, of DKB Homes, is due to be determined at the meeting of NELC planning committee tomorrow.
