The chalets - rented out for £185 a night - were built without planning permission, according to Swansea Council. Owner John Phillips told how bookings had been "flat out" since the waterside chalets with hot tubs were opened to guests a year ago. But there were protests from people living nearby in what 60 years ago became named Britain 's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The cabins provoked protests not only from neighbours but also the National Trust . Mr Phillips insisted he did not believe the buildings needed planning permission due to their size when he initially built them. But after speaking to council workers he was advised to apply for "change of use" status if intending to rent them out. He then applied for permission arguing that they would attract visitors to the area throughout the year - and boost the economy in an area where tourist accommodation was limited. But there were 12 objections to his retrospective plans on the grounds of increased noise, traffic and visual intrusion. One objector described the cabins as a "blot on the landscape" while another said they should be demolished and the area replanted. Among the complaints was: "The chalets have only been open to guests since the beginning of July but there is already significantly increased levels of noise from guests staying at the chalets." The objector described "vehicles coming and going at all times of the day and night" causing "a significant loss to the tranquillity of the area"){kind=link}
