Potential new holiday accommodation.

A couple in Llanfair near Lampeter in Wales are trying to get planning permission to construct 4 log cabins on their 10 acre property. The 2 bedroom cabins will have full ceiling track hoists from the bedroom to the bathroom and will be offered as self catering holiday accommodation. Their initial planning application is going to be turned down as the authorities are saying there is no evidence that accommodation of this sort is needed!

As part of the information pack supplied to the planning authority were over 35 e-mails from Tourist Information Centres around the UK stating that they could not find accommodation for 3 people with severe mobility difficulties to go on holiday together.

If you would welcome such a property as an addition to the small but growing portfolio of accessible properties with ceiling track hoists in the UK please contact the owner (Lin Plevy) and offer your support. This is a project which should not be defeated by beauracratic planning authorities who have no idea of the needs of disabled people.
