A new dwelling is proposed at Jedwater Caravan Park in Jedburgh, Scotland, to enable the phased succession of the family-run business from father to son. The park requires 24-hour on-site management, but current manager Michael Gibson lives off-site in Jedburgh and must commute when issues arise. The site, founded by the Gibson family in the 1950s, accommodates 86 static caravans with capacity for 92, plus 25 seasonal and touring caravans. A planning application has been submitted to Scottish Borders Council; the proposed site is within a flood plain but a Flood Risk Assessment shows it lies outside the 1 in 200 plus climate change modelled flood area.
