Planning committee

Decided by Ceredigion Development Management Committee on 8 Oct 2025.

Approved

Against officer advice: officers had recommended refusal.

Officers advised refusal because the glamping business did not justify continuous on-site accommodation and the proposal harmed countryside character.
The community council and land drainage service raised no objection, highways had no observations, ecology raised no objection subject to lighting controls, and no third-party representations were received.
The committee approved the caravan for three years, citing the new owners’ opportunity, security, 24-hour site needs, office and storage use, and potential employment.

Site constraints 4

Nutrient neutrality catchment: Afon Teifi

New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.

Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.

Agricultural land, grade 3b

Not best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Source: the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map (Defra and Natural England, 2025; the Welsh Government's Predictive ALC Map 2 in Wales), a model rather than a site survey. A site survey can differ.

Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.

Special area of conservation about 226 m away: Afon Teifi / River Teifi

Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.

Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
