The proposal by David Moore, of Moore Adventure Ltd, will see the new attraction developed on disused car parking land at the Lion Quays, near Gobowen.

The course will be set in a mock Victorian street scene – the first of its kind in the UK – and also feature a castle wall, an African house, a wizard’s house, dinosaurs, and even a waterfall.

It will take around 90 minutes to complete.

The proposal had initially received objections from members of the public concerning car parking and access issues and it not being in keeping.

Meanwhile, Selattyn and Gobowen Parish Council remained neutral on the matter.

Planning officer Melanie Williams said: “The site is located within the grounds of the Lion Quays, a well-established hotel, spa and leisure destination positioned off the A5 near Oswestry. The area is semi-rural in character with a mix of tourism, commercial uses and open countryside.

“Therefore, the principle of developing this site for a tourism/leisure use is considered acceptable, subject to other relevant material considerations being met.”

She added: “The proposed development is appropriate in its design and scale and it will not have a detrimental impact upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area.

“Furthermore, the proposal will not have an adverse impact upon the residential amenities of the neighbouring properties.”

Colin Jenno, operations director for LQ Resorts, said the development will provide a boost for the resort.

He added: “The facility will generate an increase in tourism as it will provide an extra incentive to choose Lion Quays Resort as a destination of choice, which in turn will benefit the surrounding area.

“The Lion Quays Resort will see an upturn in expenditure on food and drink as adventure golfers use the catering facilities at the resort as part of their visit.”

The course will utilise the existing 400 car parking spaces at the resort, create one part-time job, and would be open seven days a week between 9am and 10pm.
