Plans for about 50 more caravans and accommodation at the base of a golf club in North Wales are expected to be rejected.
Pennant Park Golf Club in Whitford, near Holywell, has permission to place 49 games on an educational domain on the site.
It has already planned 73 caravans in it and if successful, the application would see this construction up to 122.

But Flintshire Council officials denied the programme.
The plan-making committee will meet Wednesday to discuss the proposal.
Planning officials said: “Pennant Park Golf Club has had a number of planning requests authorised since 2005 to allow for the status quo of a total of 73 holiday accommodation units, proposed in the absence of an overall master plan for site progression. .
“It is important to note that only 18 of the 73 legal sets have been completed to date, without the full effect of this scale of progression from the landscape, road and ecological point of view having yet been achieved.
“It is that 49 additional sets such as those proposed would constitute overdevelopment and would be unacceptable given the possible protection implications related to the increased use of the site and the proximity of the network of public trails and bridlepaths in the locality.
“Applications at this location were filed in parts. “
The applicant had said the scheme could bring £550,000 to the economy.
They said: “The economic expenditure resulting from the proposed progression will be in the order of £550,000 consistent with the year, implying an occupancy of 35%.
“However, given the popularity of domestic tourism in the UK, north Wales and the expected ‘rebound’ of the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect the economic expenditure generated through accommodation to exceed £550,000.
“If, for example, the occupancy rate were above 50%, the economic expenditure of caravans and hostels would be around £850,000.
“Once the golf course is developed for 122 static caravans and hostels, the economic expenditure with an occupancy of 50% would be on the order of £2. 12 million in line with the year. “
