Search the Public Notice PortalCenter Parcs has unveiled plans for another major aerial adventure at its Longleat Forest resort, just weeks after getting the go-ahead for a separate rollercoaster-style treetop attraction.
The holiday giant wants to replace and dramatically overhaul its existing Aerial Adventure Course with a new high-level route featuring 15 bridges and three zip wires through the woodland.
The scheme is separate from the Treetop Glider, which was approved by Wiltshire Council in October and will see riders travel around a rollercoaster-style zipline course reaching almost 13 metres high.

That attraction is planned between the Sports Plaza and mini golf course, while the latest development would replace the existing high-ropes course east of the main lake and immediately north of the Boathouse.
Plans submitted by Center Parcs show the replacement course weaving through the forest at different levels, with platforms shown at heights of up to 12.56 metres.
Unlike the existing attraction, which uses mature trees to support some of its apparatus, the new version would largely stand independently on steel poles supported by foundations and guy wires.

Planning documents say this is intended to reduce the attraction's reliance on trees and make it safer and easier to maintain. Much of the new course could even be built while the existing attraction remains open.
However, some trees would have to go. An arboricultural assessment says two trees and two stems from a group of birches would be felled to make way for the development, while another two trees are earmarked for removal on safety grounds regardless of the scheme. Four replacement trees are proposed.
Wildlife will also have to be carefully protected during construction.
Great crested newts are known to live at Center Parcs Longleat Forest, with the nearest breeding pond around 170 metres from the proposed works.

Ecologists say the presence of newts in the construction area cannot be ruled out, meaning work should only proceed with an appropriate Natural England licence.
An active badger sett lies about 70 metres away, while otters are known to visit the lake.
The documents say the revamped attraction would operate only during daylight hours, with no new lighting proposed.
