New lodges have been approved by Powys County Council planners at a fishing pool near Newtown.
Brian Bancroft had applied to build the lodges along with new access, car parking and a foul water tank at Sawmill Pool in Kerry.The proposal is to create three two-bed lodges together with a small maintenance store.
This would be part of one of the building’s structures and would be used to store equipment such as a lawnmower to maintain the site.Planning agent Hughes Architects Ltd explained the proposal in a design and access statement.
It said said: “The fishing lake is used by Newtown and Severnside Angling Club every two weeks.
“The applicant also rents out the lake to locals on a pay-and-play basis.“This has resulted in an incredibly beautiful site being brought back into viable reuse as a community and recreational resource, ” said Mr Majeski.
Senior planning officer, Richard Edwards said: “The proposed development is not considered to impact upon any neighbouring properties in terms of loss of privacy.
