A number of submissions had been made by local residents against the development.

Issues raised included the impact on local swimmers, as well as on water quality, local wildlife and the scenic views of the lake.

It was also argued by some that the development would result in overcrowding and potentially encourage anti-social behavior.

County planners have now granted permission for the project with 7 conditions attached.
