Decision next month on holiday home for kids
A decision on plans to build a holiday home for sick children in Scarborough by the family of Bradley Lowery is set for next month.
Six-year-old Bradley died in July 2017 having been diagnosed with neuroblastoma when he was 18 months old.
One of his last family holidays was to Scarborough and now his charity, the Bradley Lowery Foundation, is building a holiday home there on land gifted to it by Scarborough Borough Council.
Bradley Lowery House, on land off Burniston Road, would allow other sick children and their families to enjoy a break in the seaside town.
The plans have been lodged with Scarborough Council and are now out to consultation until March 21. A decision is then likely to be made early next month on whether to grant planning permission according to Scarborough Council’s website.
The supporting documents submitted to the council by BDN Architects, states: “This important facility is conceived as a new holiday-home typology for families who have children with life-threatening, shortening or compromising medical conditions.
“The house accommodates the extended family and friends of the sick child so that they can collectively have a luxury holiday in a state-of-the-art facility.”
The five-bedroom house, will also include a gym and sauna along with a barbecue terrace.
The document from BDN, adds that Scarborough was Bradley’s “favourite place to visit”.
