LUXURY HOLIDAY PARK BID IN ANCIENT WOODLAND REFUSED

A BID to build a holiday park in ancient woodland, which generated 5,000 objections, has been thrown out by planners.

- 

Luxury Lodge Group Ltd, through the agent Helen Ashby-Ridgway (Lichfields), had submitted revised plans to erect 25 holiday lodges and four glamping pods at Coed y Wern, Ty Gwyn at Glasinfryn, near Bangor.

Plans for a development at the site were first submitted in 2018 and this application had been deferred for a site visit on April 28.

The plans noted that 'Zone 5' of an earlier proposal had been removed 'to avoid a more ecologically sensitive area' and the number of pods had been reduced from 11 to four.

But that failed to sway Cyngor Gwynedd's planning committee who voted to reject the scheme, against officer's recommendations to approve.
