In Brief

Two applications to expand caravan parks in England have drawn objections from locals. In St Leonards, a project for 15 caravans was rejected, while in Andover, residents protest a single additional caravan.

In the UK, local residents have opposed plans to expand two caravan parks. In St Leonards (East Sussex), Hastings Council rejected an application by Haven Leisure Ltd to install 15 new static caravans at Combe Haven Holiday Park. The project involved developing a green area previously used as a golf course, prompting 89 objections from residents and environmentalists. Key concerns included noise, impact on wildlife, and flood risk, given the proximity to Filsham Reedbed nature reserve and the Combe Haven Site of Special Scientific Interest. A similar application was previously rejected in 2017 after public protest.

In Andover (Hampshire), Wyldecrest Parks Management applied to Test Valley Borough Council for a certificate of lawful development to place one additional caravan at Harewood Park. Local residents expressed concerns about parking overload, infrastructure, and access, as well as a potential change in land use. The applicant argues the site is already part of a caravan park and adding one caravan would not significantly alter its use.

Objections over plans to station Traveller caravans on land in village

Plans to station six caravans for Travellers on land at Beech Farm, Roundstreet Common, in Wisborough Green have been recommended for approval. The proposal includes six static caravans, utility buildings, and package treatment plants. Previously refused in August last year due to concerns about isolated location and water neutrality, an amended design has been submitted. Planning officers cited the council's lack of suitable Gypsy and Traveller pitches, with a shortfall of 13 pitches against a five-year target, as outweighing moderate harm to the landscape. A final decision is scheduled for June 10.
