Residents of an idyllic and quiet Welsh hamlet were left ruffled after rowdy revellers partied in a house used as a holiday let without planning permission. Arosfa Lodge, an eight-bedroom property in Pump Lane, Axton, near Holywell in Flintshire, has been operating as holiday accommodation without planning consent as the owners were not aware they needed it.
Neighbours have complained of loud music and parties that continued into the early hours of the morning. Bottles were thrown over the hedge into next door's garden where a young girl was camping, broken glasses were strewn on the nearby lane and some of the party-goers reportedly "flashed" at them. When the residents objected to their behaviour they were claim they were met by a barrage of profanities, reports North Wales Live.
On two occasions the police were called because of the anti-social behaviour but no action was taken. Now the homeowner, Dean Scott, has applied to Flintshire County Council for permission for holiday use for 185 days a year and as his family's residence for the remainder. They have also since taken effective action to prevent further anti-social behaviour at the property.
