A businessman is to pull out of a £1 million investment in Hyndburn after his application to build a ‘glamping’ complex near Great Harwood was rejected by councillors for the third time.
His outline application for the siting of glamping pods on land next to Blackleach Farm suggests a review of Hyndburn’s development plan should remove the site from the protected green belt. The impact of the glamping pods on the Green Belt was the reason for the two previous refusals. Baxenden Conservative Cllr Kath Pratt told the meeting she believed the proposal would be of economic benefit to the borough.Her St. Oswalds ward Conservative colleague Cllr Susan Hayes, said: “This would be substantially better then what it is now.”
