Description
Rural tourism comprising four glamping pods
Planning permission has been granted for the innovative conversion and repositioning of four redundant agricultural silos at Killinghurst Lane, Haslemere, within the Green Belt and Surrey Hills AONB. The scheme delivers high-quality holiday accommodation alongside associated access, parking, landscaping, and renewable energy infrastructure.
The proposal was supported on the basis of sustainable rural diversification, making effective use of existing buildings while preserving Green Belt openness and enhancing landscape character.
No significant impacts were identified in respect of residential amenity, highways, ecology, or landscape, and the development incorporates sustainability measures such as solar panels and energy-efficient design.
Overall, the scheme demonstrates a successful balance between policy-compliant Green Belt development and the delivery of sustainable rural tourism, contributing positively to the local economy.
