Holiday Lodges – Lincoln Golf Centre
Planning Application Amendments & Successful Outcome
A Client in Need of Urgent Planning Support
Fytche-Taylor Planning were approached by the owners of Lincoln Golf Centre after they had been left feeling disappointed and misled by a previous consultant. Although planning permission for holiday lodges had been granted, the permission did not match what the client believed they were getting - and even worse, they later discovered that the consent included restrictive occupancy conditions that placed the site at risk of enforcement action.
The client urgently needed clarity, reassurance and a path to securing the correct planning permission for the development they originally intended.
Understanding the Problem
Our first priority was to fully research the situation. We carried out a detailed review of the planning history of the site, the conditions and limitations in the existing consent and the specific concerns raised by the local planning authority.
Our review highlighted that the previous application had not properly represented the intended development, leading to a permission that was unworkable in practice.
Our Planning Solution
✔ Clear Advice & Reassurance: We explained the implications of the existing permission and provided honest, practical guidance on the steps needed to put things right - helping the client regain confidence in the process.
✔ Full Representation with the LPA: Acting on the client’s behalf, we opened constructive dialogue with planning officers to address their concerns and clarify the site’s intended use.
✔ Preparation of a New, Corrected Application: We then prepared and submitted a revised planning application to:
Amend and correct the previous consent through a new policy-compliant application
Remove problematic restrictions
Provide a realistic, policy-compliant solution
Secure the proper permission for the holiday lodge development
Successful Outcome
The revised application was approved, giving the client the accurate, enforceable planning consent they needed to move forward confidently with their holiday lodge development.
his case highlights why choosing an experienced, RTPI-accredited planning consultant is so important - particularly for leisure, holiday and tourism-related projects where occupancy, use class and operational details must be handled with care.
