An outdoor stage installed at a popular holiday resort has made life for locals 'hell' after planning guidelines were not followed properly. Noise concerns caused councillors to reject unanimously an application for the already installed structure on the Haven site.
A retrospective application for the siting of an outdoor activities area at Thorpe Park Holiday Park was made last year by site owners Haven Leisure Ltd, part of the wider Bourne Leisure Ltd group. Planning permission had already been given for an outdoor stage, trampolines and a jump, but when installed they were not put in the originally intended locations.
This included the outdoor stage being moved from the northern end of the site to the eastern, which is close to a conservation area in Lincolnshire. Council members were highly critical of the retrospective application, with one describing it as "absolutely diabolical," GrimsbyLive reports.
