16 planning applications submitted East Lindsey District Council - including more on homeless pods proposals
More details have been submitted to East Lindsey District Council regarding the layout for proposed accommodation pods for the homeless in a car park in Skegness.
In July, East Lindsey District Council (ELDC) gave the green light for emergency pods for the homeless to be sited in Skegness in spite of objections by the town council.
The decision to go ahead with siting the pods on Princes Parade Car Park in Princes Parade was described as a significant milestone in ELDC’s efforts to provide safe, dignified and transitional accommodation for people experiencing homelessness in East Lindsey.
The authority is now applying for the discharge of condition 3 (boundary treatment), condition 4 (occupancy restriction), condition 5 (ground anchors) and condition 6 (management plan).
A document submitted with the application shows an image of the site plan, featuring 1.2m-high metal fencing and trellis at the front of compound area, housing the four 2.400m x 1.800m pods.
There will be a 3m minimum margin between pods and site boundary where there will be a solar lighting column.
A decision will be made in due course.
