Villagers fighting a golf club’s plans to build holiday cottages say they fear it could effectively turn the venue into “Center Parcs”.
Leeds Golf Centre in Wike, just north of Shadwell, want to put up 35 single-storey “eco lodges” to cater for overnight guests. But objectors have come out swinging against the plans and have flagged several concerns, saying local infrastructure could be overwhelmed.
City council officers have agreed and suggested the plans be refused on the grounds they’d be an “inappropriate development” on greenbelt land. A decision on the plans was due to be made this month but then delayed, with a final call now expected to be made on May 12.
