Finance.
A plain-English guide to the planning permission and finance behind most MBS projects, plus the planning consultants and finance providers we know and recommend.
Planning, in Plain English.
Most MBS buildings need planning permission. Here is what usually shapes a decision, particularly in Wales.
Most Buildings Need Permission
Lodges, venues, homes and larger spa buildings generally need planning permission. We can advise on your route and introduce planning specialists.
How Decisions Are Made in Wales
Decisions follow Planning Policy Wales, the Technical Advice Notes (including TAN 6 for rural communities and TAN 13 for tourism) and your local development plan.
Holiday-Use Conditions
Holiday lodges commonly carry occupancy conditions that limit them to holiday use rather than a permanent residence.
Protected Areas
National Parks such as Eryri, Bannau Brycheiniog and the Pembrokeshire Coast, National Landscapes (AONBs) and Conservation Areas carry extra scrutiny of design and siting.
The Twin-Unit Caravan Route
Where a site licence requires it, some lodges can be designed to the twin-unit caravan definition. We'll advise whether this suits your site.
Rural Homes
In rural Wales, new homes in the countryside are generally tied to a rural enterprise under TAN 6.
