Glamping Lodges Planning Permission

Our clients wanted to develop a farm diversification enterprise that would help to generate some extra income for the farm, as well as creating employment for family members. The farm is in an amazing location with views across the Malvern Hills; developing guest accommodation fitted perfectly.

The Rural Planning Co helped to assess the feasibility of different options, while Richard designed and built the lodge himself. We negotiated with Malvern Hills District Council throughout the planning process, ultimately achieving planning permission for a stunning proposal.


Summary

To develop a farm diversification enterprise which would generate extra income as well as creating a long term business that would employ family members.

For The Rural Planning Co to prepare feasibility budgets on a range of 'glamping' types of accommodation units. Once completed, a planning application to be prepared and submitted.


Birtsmorton, Malvern Hills, Worcestershire

Malvern Hills District Council


The site is in an isolated location adjacent to the AONB of Malvern Hills which places great weight on the impact of the development.

We had to demonstrate that the proposal did not have a detrimental impact on the AONB, along with a range of other practical considerations which had to be overcome.

APPROVED



"We approached The Rural Planning Co because we knew this wasn't going to be a straight forward project. Their skill and expertise made the application go really smoothly - we are delighted with the result."

Richard, Malvern Hills Lodges
