In Brief

Cove Communities has withdrawn controversial plans to redevelop Medmerry Park holiday park in Earnley, UK. The project included replacing old lodges with 308 new luxury units, creating lakes and an outdoor cinema.

Cove Communities has withdrawn controversial plans to redevelop Medmerry Park holiday park in Earnley, West Sussex, UK. The project, submitted in 2023, proposed replacing old lodges with 308 new luxury cottages, creating lakes, an outdoor cinema and other facilities.

The reason for the withdrawal has not been announced. According to sources, the application had not been updated since July 2024, and Chichester District Council unsuccessfully tried to contact the applicant. The plans had previously drawn dozens of objections from local residents citing flood risk, beach erosion and infrastructure strain.

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.

Major redesign proposed for holiday park on Sunshine Coast

A revised redevelopment plan for the former Golden Beach Holiday Park, closed in February 2026, has been submitted to Sunshine Coast Council. The proposal replaces an earlier single-tower concept with four residential buildings up to 18 meters (six stories) containing 220 two- and three-bedroom apartments. The plan would remove 55 campsites, which the applicant argues represents 2.7% of coastal tourist park supply in the region, with negligible impact. The project includes 20% of apartments (about 36) at below-market rent for 10 years and 25% (about 55) at 25% below market rent for 25 years. Public submissions close on June 9.

Objections over plans to station Traveller caravans on land in village

Plans to station six caravans for Travellers on land at Beech Farm, Roundstreet Common, in Wisborough Green have been recommended for approval. The proposal includes six static caravans, utility buildings, and package treatment plants. Previously refused in August last year due to concerns about isolated location and water neutrality, an amended design has been submitted. Planning officers cited the council's lack of suitable Gypsy and Traveller pitches, with a shortfall of 13 pitches against a five-year target, as outweighing moderate harm to the landscape. A final decision is scheduled for June 10.
