An outdoor events centre will appeal a decision to close it over fears its continued use would impact Nottinghamshire's greenbelt. Two businesses, B2B and Into the Forest, had hoped to get formal planning permission to continue to host laser tag, archery, an outdoor cinema, an expansive maize maze, and bushcraft events off Lime Lane in Arnold, where both had operated unauthorised since 2015.
But Gedling Borough Council's planning committee refused permission for this to continue on Wednesday, June 21. Despite some councillors hailing the event site as "amazing", the planning officer's advice to reject the plans due to their impact on the greenbelt was followed by the planning committee.
A spokesperson for B2B said the business would appeal the decision in the hopes the Planning Inspectorate would overrule the council and allow them to continue trading. They added: "We have been given 56 days from when they decide to issue the papers, and we are going to appeal as soon as possible."
