A revised proposal for large modern holiday complex in open countryside in the highly protected Yorkshire Dales National Park should be approved, officials have recommended.
A meeting of the park authority’s planning committee on Tuesday will hear the Linton Regeneration Company has agreed to cut dozens of wood burning stoves from its controversial proposal to build an aparthotel at Linton Camp, eight miles north of Skipton. The revised plan for the site follows the firm gaining consent in 2020 for what remains among the largest scale proposals to have been approved in recent decades in the national park, where major developments are very rare.
Instead, the firm is now seeking consent to create 24 self-contained ‘serviced’ holiday units over 2 floors, with a spa, gym, a 24-seat cinema, two-lane bowling alley and a bar and restaurant, nine self-contained holiday lodges and a 76-space underground car park. Linton Parish Council has urged the authority to reject the revised proposal, – describing the scale of the development as “excessive” while highlighting its impact on the protected landscape.
