Council planning record

The proposal is for a mini ropes course and activity pods to be built within our existing site, directly underneath our High Ropes Course, built in 2008 - there is no additional area of our existing site being used. The development will comprise a linear course of 4 x hexagonal activity pods and 6 platforms connected by obstacles between 1 and 1.5 metres off the ground. Each pod or platform will sit on 1 cubic meter of concrete and will be constructed of steel and timber. All steel frameworks will be clad with timber to blend with the surroundings.
