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. Objections cite road safety, wastewater infrastructure strain, and loss of agricultural land. The decision is scheduled for the June 10 development management committee meeting.

Controversial caravan park expansion approved despite Welsh language concerns

Denbighshire County Council approved the expansion of Cae’r Mynydd Holiday Park in Saron from 42 to 60 caravans, despite objections from Llanrhaeadr-yng-Nghinmeirch Community Council. Objections cited insufficient sewage treatment details, concerns over the proportion of Welsh speakers (47.3% in the village vs. 22.5% county average cited in the application), and alleged past non-compliance with planning conditions. The application was revised from an earlier proposal for 25 additional pitches to 18, and planning officers recommended approval citing landscape enhancement and biodiversity benefits. The committee voted 17-0 in favor.

Caravan site approved on green belt despite coalescence fears

Three Rivers District Council approved a change of use for land north of Toms Lane, between Bedmond and Kings Langley, for four gypsy pitches. The decision, passed 10-1, was based on the argument that the rights of Romany Gypsies outweigh green belt protection. Conservative councillor Oliver Cooper was the sole opponent, warning that such developments would eliminate the green belt. Applicant James Smith's status meets the government's definition for gypsies and travellers, permitting development on protected land.

23-year-old converts used motorhome with furniture from old apartment

Fliss Freeborn, 23, bought a used VW Transporter T5 for £8,500 (about $10,000) and converted it into a home on wheels using furniture from her old apartment. The total budget was around £10,000 ($11,900). An old TV stand became a kitchen unit, bed slats became a storage box, and bookshelf shelves were used for the table and bed platform. New wood cost $35, and a custom mattress cost $120. The motorhome has no built-in sink or stove; a portable two-burner stove is used. An auxiliary battery charged by the engine provides power.

British man concreted over wildlife reserve to create motorhome pitches

Michael Delaney, 39, from Sussex, England, must remove six motorhome pitches and restore a seven-acre plot he concreted without planning permission. Work began in August without an application, and inspector Paul Freer described the development as a 'flagrant, contemptuous and blatant' case of deliberate unauthorized building. The site is habitat for the protected great crested newt, adding an environmental dimension. The family has three months to vacate the motorhomes and six months to remove hard surfaces and restore the land.

Popular East Lothian campsite named the best in Scotland for the second year running
