Haven Leisure Limited has applied to East Devon District Council to extend the permitted season at Devon Cliffs Holiday Centre in Sandy Bay, Exmouth, by 28 days, allowing occupation from February 1 to January 14 inclusive. Exmouth Town Council's planning committee voted to object on September 14, citing traffic congestion, noise, pressure on services and the risk of permanent residential occupation. The district council's economic development officer supported the application, saying it would extend the tourist season and support jobs; the application is awaiting a decision by East Devon District Council.

Auto Express and Caravan and Motorhome Club tested 42 new cars with caravans at Millbrook Proving Ground in the UK. The overall winner was the Skoda Superb Estate with a 193 hp 2.0-litre diesel, all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The BMW iX3 was the best electric car and won the heaviest caravan class over two tonnes. The Volvo XC60 T6 was the best plug-in hybrid, the Volvo XC90 T8 the best large family car, and the Volvo XC40 won the 1,400–1,500 kg caravan class. The Volkswagen Touareg won the 1,800–1,900 kg class. Tests assessed stability with a trailer, acceleration, braking, hill starts, low-speed manoeuvring, visibility and load space.
