Caravan park extension recommended for refusal over overdevelopment fears

A planning officer for Ceredigion council has recommended refusal of an application to extend Ocean Heights Leisure Park in Maen-y-groes. The plan involves relocating 47 caravan pitches from two other parks, which the local community council says would double the site's area.

Horse manège set to be transformed into caravan storage

St Helens Council has approved a planning application to convert a former horse manège at Heathfield Farm in Widnes into storage for up to 22 touring caravans. The site, which had been used informally as a car park since 2019, will now serve as secure caravan storage. The planning officer determined the change would not harm the area's visual appeal or residents' tranquillity, and the Highways Advisor raised no objection, noting no increased risk to highway safety. Strict conditions have been attached to the permission, including limiting use to caravan storage only.
