PLANNING chiefs are studying proposals to build 40 holiday lodges at a Hampshire attraction that sees 25,000 visitors a year.
Marwell Activity Centre is seeking consent to construct the timber lodges in a new area of native woodland at its site off Hurst Lane, Owslebury.
The family-run centre, which opened about 40 years ago, is in the South Downs National Park.
It originally applied for planning permission for more than 50 lodges but has now submitted a revised scheme.
The application says: "The revisions reduce the number of lodges from 52 to 40 to allow a spacious layout and maximise the area for native woodland.
