The council has imposed conditions to ensure the development does not compromise the rural character, public access, or nearby residences.
These include external lighting approval to reduce light pollution, a limitation of seven caravans to mitigate visual or environmental impact, and a holiday accommodation-only restriction to prevent permanent residency.
The site will also be monitored for compliance, with guest logs required to be maintained.
Public comments from Stuart Crawford expressed cautious support for the development, provided strict conditions are enforced.
These include a maximum limit of seven caravans, and restricted access points to avoid disruption and future expansion beyond the proposed scale.
He also highlighted personal concerns about traffic, safety, and noise, should conditions not be enforced.
He suggested planting hedges or trees around the gateway to maintain the aesthetic and rural charm of the area.
The Local Highway Authority stated that any interference with the public right of way (PRoW) during development would require a Temporary Closure Order from the council.
