Perth and Kinross councillors have unanimously approved plans for 27 holiday units at Mains of Taymouth.
Mains of Taymouth Ltd sought full planning permission to erect the lodges at its Kenmore site.
Kenmore Community Council objected due to a decline in tourist facilities partly caused by a lack of affordable housing in the village for workers and an increasing amount of holiday accommodation.
Perth and Kinross Council's Planning and Placemaking Committee met to consider the plans on Wednesday, February 22.
Planning permission was previously granted for a total of 43 caravans on this site in May 2019.
However in 2022 Mains of Taymouth later sought to alter the layout and reduce the density to 25.
Sixteen of these 25 lodges are to be erected under the 2022 permission - eleven are now built and occupied with the remaining five still to be erected.
This latest application for 27 units is on land to the east and south of the 16 lodges.
Together they will bring it up to the previously approved 43 units for this site in 2019. Councillors were told there was no net increase in the number of accommodation units being provided.
There were five letters of representation which included an objection from Kenmore Community Council.
The community council objected due to the "increasing predominance of holiday accommodation within the village" and a "lack of facilities to serve the accommodation".
The letter of objection described Kenmore as a "soulless holiday village - virtually dead in the non-tourist season" and said the population was falling with "no affordable (social) housing available in the area for the many staff who support the tourist trade".
The letter listed a number of facilities which had recently closed including the shop and post office, lochside cafe, horse riding stables and a boating business.
Councillors unanimously approved the plans.
