Neath Port Talbot Council has given the Afan Valley Adventure Resort a final lifeline after the developer confirmed it could be delivered.
Developer Afan Valley Ltd has proven to the council that funding arrangements have been made to provide the £200 million project and the planning committee is set to resolve the plans in due course.
In September 2020, the council's chief executive gave Afan Valley Ltd until October 31 to prove they had funding agreements in place to provide the scheme.
A council spokesperson said the developer has given planning officers "necessary assurances" that the project can be delivered in line with the planning application.
They added: "Legal matters are still to be concluded and final submissions from the applicant are yet to be received, notably due to Covid-related restrictions.
"The matter will be reported back to the planning committee for a final resolution once the final submissions have been made and associated legal agreement is concluded.”
The resort is planned to cover 325 acres of land at Pen-y-Bryn with 600 lodges and apartments and a 100-bed hotel.
If approved, it is hoped the scheme will create around 700 full-time jobs.
The project is currently being led by Peter Moore OBE, the man who brought Centre Parks to the UK.
Councillors gave the project outline conditional planning approval in March 2019 but it was later disrupted after allegations of serious financial issues against Northern Powerhouse Developments (NPD) and its director Gavin Woodhouse.
Mr Moore is no longer working with Mr Woodhouse and remains responsible for delivering the adventure resort and working with the relevant backers.
The council's next planning committee meeting is scheduled for January 12 but a spokesperson could not yet confirm whether the final stages of the plans for the adventure resort would be settled on this day.
