In Brief

A planning application has been submitted to expand Tregoad Caravan and Camping Park in Looe, Cornwall, with 39 lodges. In Wales, retrospective plans for 36 caravans and 15 lodges at Penrhos Park in Llanrhystud are recommended for approval.

Cornwall: Tregoad Holiday Park expansion

Tregoad Holiday Park Ltd has submitted a planning application to Cornwall Council to expand Tregoad Caravan and Camping Park in Looe. The project includes 39 lodges and associated infrastructure, including upgrades to electricity and water supply. The applicant says the investment will benefit the local economy by creating jobs and attracting tourists.

Wales: retrospective approval for Penrhos Park

Welsh authorities have recommended approval of a retrospective application to retain 36 caravans and 15 lodges at Penrhos Park in Llanrhystud. The structures were built after permission was granted in 2019, but their location and orientation did not match the approved plan. Ceredigion County Council's development committee will consider the matter on 10 June.

Owners have been sent notices, with fines and legal action to follow if structures are not removed within 30 days.

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.
