The plans consist of the proposed installation of six glamping pod accommodation units, camper van and caravan bays, landscaping, a children's outdoor play area and onsite car parking.
To accommodate the development the plans seek permission for proposed connections to the existing services onsite, such as wastewater, water and surface water.
The site would be located to the rear of existing public house and all ancillary site works.
The local authority planners received the initial contact last week and anticipate reaching a decision on July 30.
