Developer says hotel and lagoon plans cover just 10% of the country park near Deal.
Plans for a controversial surf lagoon and 120-room hotel on the site of a former coal mine in Kent have been approved by councillors.
The Friends of Betteshanger Group, which has been campaigning against the new development, said a surf lagoon will be more harmful to nature than the hotel. Ben Geering, head of planning at the country park, said the proposal covered just 10% of the privately-owned site and included plans to protect existing and new species."It honours Kent’s mining heritage by securing Betteshanger Park’s future and will boost the district’s economy."
