\n Ellie Smith, Assistant Spatial Planner for National Highways, noted the complex’s proximity to the A5 trunk road.\n<\/p>\n
\n She said: “We anticipate that the development will not have an impact on the SRN (Strategic Road Network) however, the applicant needs to demonstrate the anticipated use of the development.\n<\/p>\n
\n “This can be done in the form of a transport statement.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Ms Smith said as a minimum, this should include details regarding the parking, access and hours of operation, along with trip generation to show anticipated levels of traffic.\n<\/p>\n
\n She also said a construction traffic management plan would be required, along with details of drainage works, noting: “Drainage proposals will be of particular interest to National Highways to ensure that surface water run-off from the site does not threaten the integrity of National Highways drainage assets.”\n<\/p>\n
\n Selattyn and Gobowen Parish Council reviewed the plans at their latest meeting and offered no comment, but it has received two objections from members of the public.\n<\/p>\n
\n Delyth and Glyn Davies voiced concerns about light pollution, car parking and traffic issues, adding: “It is totally out of keeping with the area. It is more akin to a theme park than a country hotel and spa.\n<\/p>\n
\n “It would back onto and detract from the beautiful parkland of Henlle Park and Henlle Lane, which is used as a direct route to the nearby Llangollen Canal, part of the Pontcysyllte World Heritage Site.\n<\/p>\n
\n “A tacky Castle and crazy golf course is entirely unsuitable for this area.”\n<\/p>\n

\n Meanwhile, Mr and Mrs N Green, who live opposite the complex, said it would “negatively” impact them due to light and noise pollution, as well as increased traffic.\n<\/p>\n
\n They said: “We have no idea how we will be able to live without a big decrease in our quality of life.”\n<\/p>\n
\n A planning statement provided by Colin Jenno, operations director for LQ Resorts, as part of the initial application in October, said the development will provide a boost for the resort.\n<\/p>\n
\n If approved, it would utilise the existing 400 car parking spaces at the resort, create one part-time job, and would be open seven days a week between 9am and 10pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 18-hole project, dubbed ‘the first of its kind’ in the UK, have been put forward by David…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":664887,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4106],"tags":[2826,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-664886","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115814750239337857","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=664886"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/664886\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/664887"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=664886"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=664886"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=664886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
