New plans have been put forward for a glamping site in East Bridgford, Nottinghamshire. The glamping site has been proposed for land off Kneeton Road, opposite Lammas Farm in East Bridgford.
The proposed glamping site would be a seasonal business, in use between April and October, and consist of eight bell tents, and 13 shepherd huts/glamping pods, under the proposals. The plans also include creating three triple shower room units and parking facilities.
If the plans are approved by Rushcliffe Borough Council the glamping site would see hot tubs positioned next to some of the shepherd huts. The application was put forward by developers Willis and Co on behalf of the applicant Mr P Kerry.

The planning statement states that the site would be seasonal, so only used for part of the year. Structures would be dismantled and stored away throughout the winter.
Plans show that the site would be laid out in such a way that it would preserve the openness of the greenbelt. The applicant already holds a licence for a certified location on the site allowing the use of five shepherd huts and an increased number of tents.
The application was submitted because increasing the number of proposed shepherd huts on the site will ensure that the business remains financially viable, the plans state. There are cider apple orchards and vineyards near the site, and, according to the planning statement, the glamping site will help support the vineyard business, as well as local businesses like The Royal Oak pub.
A new access to the site will be created to the north of the site onto Old Hill Lane. There is existing access north of the site off Kneeton Road.
The planning statement says: “The proposed site will make a positive contribution to the area as it will be well designed creating an inclusive safe and attractive environment that will also be healthy with the outdoor holiday spaces encouraging the enjoyment of the outdoors and is within walking distance to the local village.
“This will aid to boost the local economy, as well as reducing the need to travel by car in the duration of the stay. The proposed bell tents, shepherds huts/glamping pods will be adaptable and movable inorder to meet any demands and effects of climate change.”
