What’s proposed

Permission for minor amendments to the sustainable eco-tourism project previously approved under Planning Ref. No. PD/23/60204. The development, situated on a 59.71-hectare (147.55-acre) site, is a low-density visitor destination designed with minimal environmental impact, utilizing renewable energy, sustainable materials, and reversible construction methods. The proposed amendments are: a. minor relocation southward by c.7 metres of the permitted Environmental Induction Building with bicycle parking (8 spaces) relocated adjacent to the building, b. A small increase in the building’s floor area (from the permitted area of c.111 sq.m. to c.142 sq.m.), to include a café/restaurant (c.107 sq.m.) area, kitchen (c.28 sq.m.) and storage (c.6 sq.m.) to serve guests and staff only, enhancing the environmental education experience, with associated amendments to the building’s elevations. c. The addition of an external covered walkway (c.86 sq.m.) connecting the Environmental Induction Building as amended to the existing WC/shower facilities building. The application is supported by an addendum Natura Impact Statement (NIS) to the original NIS submitted under Ref. No. PD/23/60204 at

Zoning

C5 — Commercial, enterprise and employment

Land zoned for business use. Expect offices, warehousing, industry or retail rather than housing; a residential application here is swimming against the plan.

G3 — High amenity

Protected high-amenity landscape. Development is resisted to preserve the character of the area.

O1 — Green belt and strategic open land

Land zoned to keep urban areas apart. Development is strongly resisted.
