From Hobbit Homes to Tree Houses: Powys' Latest Unusual Holiday Let
A boat will be allowed to be moored on a Mid Wales lake as a holiday let after receiving planning approval. The boat, accompanied by a jetty, will be located on the north shore of Pen Y Clawdd Pool at Llanbister Road, Llandrindod Wells.
Alongside the boat, a shed will be constructed and an access track created to reach the pool, which spans 1.82 hectares and is used for commercial recreational fishing.
Mr. Morgan of The Farm, Dutlas near Knighton, applied for the permission to use the boat as a holiday let on this popular fishing lake.
