00:00Plans to build 70 holiday lodges in Hampsterley Forest have faced fresh opposition amid local
00:07concern.
00:08Forest Holidays wants to create cabins for hundreds of guests, alongside facilities
00:13including a cafe, restaurant and shop.
00:16South Bedburn and Hampsterley Parish councils have objected to the proposals, saying the
00:21development could place a major strain on existing services.
00:25Forest Holidays says concerns raised have been addressed and relevant planning matters
00:29considered.
00:30Objections have also raised issues around water supplies, wildlife, flooding and drainage.
00:37Durham County Council will decide the application after considering views from residents and bodies
00:42involved in the process.
