PLANS to build a holiday village on an Anglesey country park have been given the go-ahead after campaigns against the proposals had claims dismissed by a High Court judge.

In 2016, the Cumbria-based property development company Land and Lakes secured planning permission from Isle of Anglesey County Council for a £120million “world-class leisure village” at Penrhos Coastal Park.

The plans entail 500 cabins, shops, restaurants, bars, and a “tropical-style” swimming pool, on about 200 acres of the park.

But the Save Penrhos Campaign group argued that planning permission had lapsed and the entire development must be resubmitted, and made a claim of judicial review.

Despite this, following a hearing in June at Cardiff Civil Justice Centre, Mr Justice Tim Mould has concluded that enough work has already been carried out – as Isle of Anglesey County Council had maintained – and dismissed the group’s claims.

In his approved judgement, handed down on October 11, Mr Justice Mould wrote: “There is no basis for the argument that the planning permission is incapable of further implementation.”

Dismissing the claims, he also refused an application for permission to appeal.

The Penrhos Estate was once the country home of the Stanley family.

Within the grounds of former estate is the Penrhos Nature Reserve, which was opened officially by King Charles III, then the Prince of Wales, in 1972.
