In Brief

Avid Projects Ltd has applied to build a 22-pitch motorhome and caravan park at Craobh Haven, Argyll and Bute. The site was used in the 1980s, then abandoned. Decision due by mid-October.

Avid Projects Ltd has submitted a planning application for a motorhome and caravan park at Craobh Haven, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The site was used as a campsite in the 1980s, then fell into decline after the owners went bankrupt. In 2025, the land was acquired by Avid Marinas Ltd.

The application includes 22 motorhome pitches, a tent area, staff accommodation and associated infrastructure. A decision is expected by mid-October.

Details of planned motorhome park beside historic canal revealed

Devizes Town Council has proposed a motorhome and caravan parking facility at The Wharf Car Park beside the Kennet and Avon Canal. The pilot scheme includes a minimum of three spaces with potential for expansion, with a 24-hour stay costing around £10. The area will be separate from the main car park, and outdoor camping activities such as awnings and cooking are prohibited. The council expects economic benefits for the town and Wiltshire.

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.
