EXCAVATION OF ADDITIONAL FISHING LAKE AND PROVISION OF LANDSCAPING TO SITE. Ward: STAINING AND WEETON Area Team: Area Team 1 Weeks on Hand: 25 Case Officer: Rob Buffham Reason for Delay: Need to determine at Committee If viewing online this is a Google Maps link to the general site location: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.8166116,-2.9146083,680m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en Summary of Recommended Decision: Grant Summary of Officer Recommendation Members will recall the application being deferred from the December Planning Committee without being considered. The proposal for consideration is a part-retrospective application for change of use of land for camping and siting of 25 camping pods for either holiday use or associated to the existing fishery, and associated use of ancillary buildings including a facilities block, office, toilet and parking area. Consent is also sought for excavation to form an additional fishing lake and 3m high bund. This application site is located in the countryside at Weeton and has been established for some years as a commercial fishery. Use of the site has been granted for the siting of overnight pods and other supporting accommodation associated with the fishing lake on site. In the last few years the pods and other supporting accommodation have been used as holiday accommodation, and the site in general for camping purposes. An application (15/0593) for this general camping use was refused by the Planning Committee against officer recommendation, and was subsequently dismissed by an Inspector at appeal. The Inspectors main findings stating that ‘I am not satisfied by the evidence that the type of camp site proposed and marketed, in such close proximity to the neighbouring 5 uses, could be adequately managed to prevent unacceptable levels of noise’ concluding that the proposal would be harmful to the adjoining users and the peaceful character of the countryside and is therefore not sustainable. Turning to this application, the principle of a holiday/ camping use and fishing lake in this location is supported as it is considered to support sustainable rural tourism that benefit businesses in rural areas, communities and visitors. With the exception of the bund, the proposal would not have any significant visual impact on the countryside. The vicinity is very quiet in general due to its rural location and a neighbouring caravan park is marketed on this basis. In this circumstance the main issue for Members to consider is whether the noise from people is excessive and unreasonable or natural to warrant refusal of the proposal. Controlling people noise and behaviour is difficult, but the application contains a Camping Management Plan (CMP) which is intended to control any disturbance and will do so if implemented. It is acknowledged that there have been amenity concerns raised by events held at the site in the past, but it is considered that camping is an acceptable use for a rural site subject to implementation of the submitted CMP and with the imposition of suitable conditions.
