Just some fresh news on an old story

The company behind the luxury log cabins development in the heart of Snowdonia has been sold in a £110m deal.

Forest Holidays, who owns the former Eryri Forestry Park near Beddgelert, secured planning permission in May 2017 from Snowdonia National Park Authority’s planning committee. However, the company has now sold the site whose value has trebled since it was awarded planning permission on the Beddgelert development.
Wish I could make tens of millions by just getting planning permission. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

This is indeed sickening, and I think it's become blatantly obvious how much corruption there is in the planning system..
