The Head of Development Management – Community Development Services sought determination of a planning application reference ZF24/00511/FL for the above development at Hunmanby Hall Sport and Leisure Hall, Park Road, Hunmanby.

The application was brought to Committee for determination following a request by the Ward Member as it involved the potential loss of a community facility and had generated considerable public interest.

The proposal was considered at the meeting of the committee held on 15 August 2024. Consideration of the application was deferred, to allow the opportunity for members to visit the site. This followed a discussion of the uniqueness and historical importance of the site within the area of Hunmanby.
