The chalets would offer accommodation for nightly or short-term stays and would not be used as people’s main homes.
Developers estimate around £913,881 could be spent by visitors off-site every year.
Plans stated the site would create jobs through the employment of management, cleaning, groundskeeping and administrative staff year-round.
They added it would also generate income for local pubs, cafés, shops, attractions and other places tourists staying there would visit.
Applicants stated: “These figures are illustrative rather than guaranteed, but demonstrate the potential scale and breadth of the recurring contribution to the rural and visitor economy.
“The development would deliver substantial rural economic and tourism benefits, make efficient use of established access and service infrastructure, provide accessible year-round visitor accommodation, secure landscape and biodiversity enhancements and remain subject to effective occupancy and operational controls.”
