Campsite reception and shop at Pond Farm Camp Site, Graizelound

Summary of planning committee decision

Decided by North Lincs Planning Committee on 8 Apr 2026.

PA/2025/870Approved

Why officers supported it

Officers considered the proposal appropriate in scale, an enhancement to the established site, and unlikely to harm the landscape, heritage, amenity, drainage or ecology.

“The proposed conversion and extension of the garage is considered to be appropriate with the built form already present, not extending beyond any existing built line. The change to the building is considered a betterment, with the current building requiring enhancements which the proposal will deliver, including new pantiles, and the extension and works to the existing building being completed in the same matching materials.”

“Flood risk and drainage Policy CS19 of the Core Strategy states that the council will support development proposals that avoid areas of current or future flood risk. In respect of drainage and flood risk, the proposed site is in SFRA flood zone 1. The LLFA has commented that the site has a low flood risk, the proposal being classified as a less vulnerable development under flood risk classification.”

Officer report

Consultation and objections

The highway authority had no comments, drainage and environmental protection consultees recommended conditions, and two objections concerned disturbance and noise.

“DS16 Flood risk North Lincolnshire Core Strategy: CS1 Spatial strategy for North Lincolnshire CS2 Delivering more sustainable development CS3 Development limits CS5 Delivering quality design in North Lincolnshire CS6 Historic environment CS15 Culture and tourism CS17 Biodiversity CS19 Flood risk CONSULTATIONS Local Highway Authority (LHA): This proposal to convert the existing garage will have no impact on the adopted highway.”

“PUBLICITY A site notice has been posted and two objections have been raised to the application: • concerns over how Pond Farm campsite is being run and disturbance to neighbours due to loud noises • concerns that noise already occurs on the site and extending it would only add to the noise, with the police being called out.”

Officer report

What members debated

Members considered the proposed shop hours excessive and not comparable with other campsite shops, and supported reducing them.

“PA/2025/870 - PLANNING PERMISSION TO CONVERT AND EXTEND EXISTING GARAGE TO FORM RECEPTION, SHOP AND WASHROOM FACILITIES. LOCATION: POND FARM CAMP SITE, STATION ROAD, GRAIZELOUND, DN9 2NH - Prior to consideration of the application, Councillor C Ross expressed her concern that the opening hours were excessive and not in keeping with hours other camp site shops would be open and should therefore be reduced.”

“Councillor C Patterson agreed that the opening hours should be reduced.”

Minutes

“It was then moved by Councillor C Ross and seconded by Councillor C Patterson –”

“The hours of use of the shop shall be limited to 8.30 am to 7.30 pm, Monday to Sunday, including bank holidays.”
