Planning officers approved retrospective plans for an animal enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, known as the Cheddar Reserve, which houses the cheetahs.
The application forms part of a large-scale expansion of the site, which was approved by the planning committee in 2018.

The Cheddar reserve will include one enclosure of 1.6 hectares, with two animal houses and a nearby toilet block.
No objections were received towards the plans by residents or local parish councils.
A second enclosure, known as the Golf reserve, is also awaiting council approval.
