Static caravans refused at popular Welsh holiday park

An application to replace touring caravans with static ones at Park Farm Holiday Park in Manorbier, Pembrokeshire, without a formal planning application was rejected by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park authority. The applicant sought a lawful development certificate, but the officer report concluded the change would constitute a material change of use requiring specific planning permission. No specific number of caravans was proposed, though the total was expected to decrease due to larger static units.

Pembrokeshire caravan site seeks approval for static caravans in National Park

Keith Stevens of Tudor Glen Caravan Park, Jameston, has applied to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park for a certificate of lawfulness to confirm that a 1988 planning permission allows static caravans, not just touring ones. The applicant argues the original consent for up to 50 caravans does not specify type or require removal during close season. The six-acre park also accommodates motorhomes and tents.

ECC highlights holiday park owner abuses in case files

UK claims firm European Consumer Claims (ECC) has released three case studies illustrating alleged abuses by holiday park operators. In one case, a disabled woman in her 70s spent her £120,000 compensation on caravans that proved unsuitable, leaving her with unsellable units and high pitch fees. In another, two lodges belonging to complainants burned down on the same day under unexplained circumstances. ECC is also representing a couple who faced dog attacks and intimidation by machete-wielding individuals at a park.

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.
