Stacey Marie's Site Remains Empty - Planning Permission Refused


More than just a wee bit interested in what goes to replace RX134 Stacey Marie in Rock a Nore Road, I've recently written a few times (eg blog) about the historic lifeboat (Cyril & Lilian Bishop), within a small building ('museum') being planned. 

However, the Council has refused planning permission (document), ostensibly (you read through it all and understand it any other way than I have) because of:

1) It would interfere with the view of the Grade II listed net huts*.
2) No toilets or refuse facility planned.
3) Inappropriate roofing material.
4) The site "may be susceptible to surface water flood risk."
5) It "will negatively impact the significant views" from Tackleway.

There were 10 objections to the development, all submitted by just the one local resident (Planning Application Documents), who presumably attached to a Grade II listed net hut the 'No Museum Here' sign* that can be seen in the photograph above. I can see no documents from a further 6 people objecting as suggested in the Report.

*Not to forget that a "sign, placard, board, notice" attached to a Grade II listed building would require consent (Historic England), which I very much doubt was sought.

Anyway, there you have it, the space where RX134 used to be has been left to fill with collected rubbish that always blows down to this vicinity, sadly.

And the Cyril & Lilian Bishop still requires an enclosed area for preservation.

Fingers crossed that someone comes up with something acceptable soon.
