Approval has been granted for the construction of a new chalet at the revered Humberston Fitties holiday park, sparking fervent discussions among locals and holiday homeowners. Amid resistance from current chalet owners, who assert that such developments infringe upon the unique charm of the area, the North East Lincolnshire Council’s ad Verde has led to the approval of the plans. The proposal was narrowly authorised by the planning committee with a marginal five to four votes. The permission paves the way for a single-storey timber building on plot 105, despite reservations expressed by some council members and residents regarding potential over-modernisation of the historic site. However, the chalet will be subject to certain conditions, including non-occupancy during winter months and a removal deadline set for August 2035.
