Case Study -
Log cabins and camping pods

Mid West Planning can help you realise that dream of setting up a holiday accommodation or camping site.

You may be thinking of bespoke timber lodges, Shepherds huts, Safari Tents, camping pods or static caravans, or tents; whatever your dream, Mid West Planning can help you set up your perfect site.

Our experts will help you define the perfect layout with facilities that your guests will need and the planners are able to approve.

We can help farm businesses and individuals to diversify and setup a holiday business to generate a new income stream.  This could be planning for a single shepherd’s hut holiday let in your garden all the way to a fully-fledged timber lodge holiday camp site.

Our team at Mid West Planning Ltd recently guided a client through the planning process, including obtaining the required Ecology Report (Preliminary Ecological Appraisal) and Heritage Assessment in support of the planning application to Malvern Hills District Council.

We successfully obtained planning permission for a Shepherds Hut holiday lodge in the client’s garden to complement an existing holiday cottage let at the property.

Mid West Planning recently gained planning permission for two log cabin, caravan and camping pod sites on farms in rural Worcestershire.

The planners requested improvements to the access to both sites, sustainable travel plans, Ecology Surveys and a comprehensive landscaping scheme, all of which Mid West Planning either prepared in house, or helped the clients to source, and then navigate the planning system to achieve planning approval for 9 holiday Lodges with 4 camping pods near Stourport on Severn, and also 10 static caravans for holiday use on a farm near to Evesham.

Mid West Planning Ltd. has extensive experience in obtaining planning consent for all forms of holiday accommodation from new build units, barn conversions, log cabins, lodges, caravans, pods and even tents, and can assist you in obtaining the necessary planning consent to diversify a farming business, or simply realise your dream of setting up a holiday accommodation enterprise.

In some circumstances we will recommend that the applicant commissions an independent Business Plan to support an application for holiday ort short stay accommodation. This will demonstrate economic and employment benefits of the proposal to the local Planning Authority.
