The council’s planning committee met yesterday (Thursday) and backed the proposal after hearing claims pubs were facing difficult commercial challenges.

Several councillors said it was important to support local businesses, including Coun Pauline Cooper who stressed the glamping project would generate new jobs.

However, Coun Adam Grist, who represents the Legbourne ward, said the site was ‘wholly inapproriate’ because it was surrounded by residential properties.

He added residents were concerned about noise issues.
