Three UK holiday park decisions: approval, refusal, and rejection
Original source: The Voice

In Brief

Authorities approved redevelopment of a park in Mawgan Porth (Cornwall), refused year-round operation for a Pembrokeshire park, and rejected plans for Broad Haven Holiday Park.

Mixed outcomes for three holiday parks

Mawgan Porth (Cornwall) — redevelopment approved. Laurence Associates' plan involves demolishing 20 static caravans and building 11 new holiday homes. St Mawgan-in-Pydar Parish Council objected, citing scale and height incompatibility with the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The developer says the project will improve tourist facilities and reduce bedrooms from 52 to 46.

Pembrokeshire (Amroth Castle Holiday Park) — year-round operation refused. Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority denied Amroth Castle Holidays Ltd a certificate of lawfulness for all-year static caravan use. The local community council opposed, fearing it would set a precedent and lead to change of use from tourism to residential.

Pembrokeshire (Broad Haven Holiday Park) — redevelopment application rejected. Plans included relocating boat storage, a car port and a play area, plus rewilding fields. Refusal was due to location on undeveloped land in a flood zone, insufficient biodiversity data, and harm to the national park landscape.

Controversial caravan park expansion approved despite Welsh language concerns

Denbighshire County Council approved the expansion of Cae’r Mynydd Holiday Park in Saron from 42 to 60 caravans, despite objections from Llanrhaeadr-yng-Nghinmeirch Community Council. Objections cited insufficient sewage treatment details, concerns over the proportion of Welsh speakers (47.3% in the village vs. 22.5% county average cited in the application), and alleged past non-compliance with planning conditions. The application was revised from an earlier proposal for 25 additional pitches to 18, and planning officers recommended approval citing landscape enhancement and biodiversity benefits. The committee voted 17-0 in favor.

Broad Haven Holiday Park expansion refused over landscape and flood risk concerns

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park has rejected an application to expand Broad Haven Holiday Park. The proposal included relocating boat storage, a vehicle shed, and a play area, along with rewilding adjacent fields, without increasing pitch numbers. Refusal was based on the site being on undeveloped land in a flood zone, lack of biodiversity impact data, and harm to the landscape character of the national park.

A30 Westbound Lanes Reopen After Lorry and Caravan Collision Near Sourton Cross

1966 motorhome with Mini garage and recording studio

In 1966, British coachbuilder Harold Radford Coachbuilders built the Transcontinental Carabus Mk2 motorhome for steel magnate Philip Lee, based on an AEC Reliance bus. The 11-metre vehicle featured a hydraulic lift for a Mini Cooper S, a recording studio, two toilets, a roof-access lift, and a kitchen with a dishwasher. The project cost £25,000 (over €700,000 in today's money). DVLA records show the motorhome was scrapped decades ago; the Mini's last registration was in 1985.
