Anglers' amenity containers at Bull Rush Lakes, Tetney Road, Humberston

“The application is now brought back to Planning Committee following amended plans and comments from the Environment Agency. SITE The existing site is used in association with fishing activities. The applicant has formalised the access point to allow for vehicular access to the site. The access adjoins the adopted highway Tetney Road which is classified and is a 60mph limit at this location.”

“The proposal is located outside of the development boundary of Humberston and within the open countryside as defined within Policy 5 of the North East Lincolnshire Local Plan 2013-2032 (adopted 2018) [NELLP]. The application seeks planning permission for engineering works and siting of containers to provide amenity space for anglers with associated drainage works and retention of an anglers wc/store building.”

“2) Flood Risk and Drainage The site sits within a flood zone on both the Environment Agency flood maps and the SFRA. The application has thus been submitted with a supporting flood risk assessment (FRA). Initial comments were provided as part of the original consultation on 2nd June 2025, with no objections, but after further clarification the Environment Agency objected due to the inclusion of overnight sleeping.”

“In this regard, the containers and store are contained within the existing fishing site and a significant distance away from the nearest neighbouring property, Kirby House, and indeed other neighbours and so there would be no adverse impacts. Considering the above the proposal is acceptable in terms of its impact to local and residential amenity and accords with Policy 5 of the NELLP.”

Drainage Officer - No drainage comments. Trees and Woodlands Officer - No comments. Ecology Officer - Satisfied with BNG calculation, a minimum 10% gain can be achieved on site.
