A planning application from the newest school in Brigg has been refused by North Lincolnshire Council.
Approval had been sought to site a mobile residential home at the rear of the premises to accommodate live-in workers associated with the existing special needs establishment.
The Robert Holme Academy is based at Fircroft - a converted bungalow on Wrawby Road - close to the Health Place offices and bordering the Brigg Conservation Area.
An application was lodged in early May to provide a mobile home in the back garden, with plans to employ a permanent chef/cook and a cleaner to live on-site. This would assist 24-hour site security. View further details here...
Giving its reasons (dated August 26) for refusing the application, North Lincolnshire Council said: "It is considered that a robust supporting case has not been submitted with the planning application to justify the requirement for a mobile home as temporary residential accommodation for an on-site worker to reside in."
The council added: "The proposed mobile home, by virtue of its scale, size, width and siting is considered to result in loss of residential amenity to the gardens and living conditions of 10-12 Jasmine Court (3 properties) through the effects of overshadowing and having an overbearing impact."
Brigg Town Council was consulted as part of the planning process and raised no objections to the application.
No comments were received by planners from the general public.
Anyone refused planning permission by a local authority can, if they wish, lodge an appeal.
Brigg Blog visited the new Robert Holme Academy in April and posted a feature article, with pictures, about the establishment.
