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.

Plan to extend caravan park approved

Plans to extend Annsmuir Caravan Park near Cupar have been approved by Fife Council's North East Planning Committee despite 19 objections. The approval allows for 14 additional static holiday caravan pitches, including road, parking, and drainage infrastructure. Objections raised concerns about traffic, road safety, drainage, noise, light pollution, and wildlife impact, but planning officers said the proposal complied with local and national policies. The committee unanimously approved the plans.
