In Brief

Three static caravans were moved onto the protected Gwent Levels, potentially breaching a High Court injunction. Natural Resources Wales, Gwent Police and Monmouthshire council are investigating.

An investigation has been launched after three static caravans were placed on a protected site in Wales. According to sources, the incident occurred on 8 April at Whitewall Common in Magor, part of the Magor and Undy Site of Special Scientific Interest. The action may breach a High Court injunction obtained in February 2026, which prohibits unauthorised activity on this protected area.

The investigation is being carried out by Natural Resources Wales, Gwent Police and Monmouthshire County Council. The injunction applies to named individuals and "persons unknown". Offenders face fines, asset seizure or imprisonment.

Environmental officers investigate waste water discharge from unauthorised caravan park

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) is investigating allegations of potentially polluting waste water discharges from the Grutness caravan park, which was built without planning permission. Sepa confirmed there are no authorised discharge points at the site and urged witnesses to report incidents. Questions have also been raised about the site's electricity supply, reportedly connected via a council-owned store. The development has been controversial since its start, with work carried out by Bam Nuttall under a separate agreement with a private landowner.

Spanish couple spends about 1,060 euros a month living in a motorhome

A young Spanish couple living in a motorhome has shared their monthly expenses. Their main cost is a campsite pitch in the UK, which costs 800 pounds (about 930 euros) per month, including electricity, water, and space for two cars. Motorhome insurance adds 110 pounds (about 130 euros) per month. Total fixed expenses reach 910 pounds (about 1,060 euros) per month. The couple says they still manage to save despite modest salaries.

Plan to extend caravan park approved

Plans to extend Annsmuir Caravan Park near Cupar have been approved by Fife Council's North East Planning Committee despite 19 objections. The approval allows for 14 additional static holiday caravan pitches, including road, parking, and drainage infrastructure. Objections raised concerns about traffic, road safety, drainage, noise, light pollution, and wildlife impact, but planning officers said the proposal complied with local and national policies. The committee unanimously approved the plans.
