Minutes:

It was noted that the conditions for the application had been updated with the addition of four further conditions and an amendment to condition 10 as set out on the update sheet.

 

Public Speaker, Objector – Tedburn Parish Council oppose the development, concerns that the number of lodges is doubling and will become permanent residences, concerns that there will be a detrimental effect on the landscape as it will give the appearance of a small housing development, the development may turn the area into a brownfield with increased noise, light pollution and only one parking space per unit, and pressure on local sewage capacity.

 

Public Speaker, Supporter – There need to be changes to be economically sustainable, safeguard the site’s future, enhance the golfing experience, improve the beauty of the area by removing the netting, the plan adheres to planning guidelines, landscaping will screen the cabins, and all conditions will be complied with.

 

Comments from Councillors included: the application is sympathetic to the landscape and, the lights will be low illumination and the further conditions and amendment to condition 10 will introduce further control.

It was proposed by Councillor Nuttall and seconded by Councillor J Petherick that the application be approved as set out in the agenda report and as amended in the update sheet.
