FOUR new timber holiday huts could be built in open countryside in a Denbighshire village, despite fears over noise and a lack of supervision.
An application has been lodged with Denbighshire County Council’s planning department, seeking permission to build four timber-framed holiday units at Camp Alyn, Tafarn Y Gelyn in Llanferres.
The developer says the holiday huts would have curved roofs and match surrounding rural and agricultural buildings.
If granted permission, the structures would feature galvanised corrugated steel roofs, larch timber cladding walls, and double-glazed windows with colour coated metal frames and painted timber doors.
Llanferres Community Council have objected to the proposals because it’s in an area of open countryside.
Several residents have also written to the council, listing development in the open countryside, lack of on-site supervision, and the potential for disturbance of the peace and quiet as reasons to object.
Concerns were also raised about the capacity for drains and electricity networks to cope.
Others feared an increase in traffic on the narrow lane accessing the site could endanger pedestrians, hikers, dog walkers and cyclists.
But Denbighshire’s planning officers have recommended the planning committee approve the plans.
The planning application is set to be discussed at a Denbighshire County Council planning committee meeting next Wednesday 9 October.
