Couple sells house to buy abandoned campsite in Wales

In June 2022, Jon and Emilie James sold their home for £132,000 and purchased a former miners' campsite in Llanelli, South Wales, abandoned since 1989. Over three years, they transformed the littered plot into an off-grid glamping site with a tiny house and sauna, spending £90,000 on the purchase and leaving £500 in their account. The couple lived without electricity and hot water, learning construction from YouTube tutorials. The project has attracted thousands of followers online.

Expansion of caravan park near Bridgwater can remain in place

Somerset Council's planning committee unanimously voted to allow the expansion of the Cutters Combe touring caravan site between Bridgwater and the Quantock Hills. The site, originally approved for five touring caravans or campervans in 2024, doubled in size without planning permission. Enmore Parish Council objected, citing "flagrant disregard for planning policy," but the committee deemed the proposal "sensible and proportional." Because the plans are retrospective, the development is exempt from the 10% biodiversity net gain requirement.
