In Brief

Denbighshire council unanimously approved expanding Cae’r Mynydd Holiday Park from 42 to 60 pitches, despite local council concerns over sewage and language data.

Denbighshire County Council unanimously (17 votes) approved the expansion of Cae’r Mynydd Holiday Park in Saron, Denbigh, from 42 to 60 caravan pitches. The application by William Hill included internal roads, a sewage treatment plant, and a biodiversity area.

The local community council objected, citing insufficient sewage capacity, an understated Welsh-speaking population (47.3% vs. the stated 22.5%), and alleged past planning breaches. Officials recommended approval, noting landscape and biodiversity improvements.

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.

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.

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.

Three appeals have been lodged with the Planning Inspectorate against Warrington Borough Council's decisions to refuse planning permission for a traveller caravan site on green belt land in Burtonwood. Appellant John Varey is also challenging an enforcement notice requiring the land to be restored to its original agricultural condition. The appeals are currently in progress.

Prospect Farm Residential Park in Lenches Road, Colne, has submitted an application for seven static caravans. The site historically operated as a holiday park but changed to residential use after permissions from Pendle Borough Council. The new proposal aims to restore its tourism role. The scheme includes five 40ft by 14ft units accessed via the existing internal road network, plus new hedgerow planting along boundaries. Based on an average occupancy of two people per caravan and 60 days of use per year, the seven units could generate approximately £85,680 in visitor spending annually, including around £48,720 spent off-site in the local economy.

A Tesla Model Y owner completed a roughly 250-mile trip to the Norfolk Broads in England while towing a Swift six-berth caravan, documenting the journey on YouTube. The vehicle required at least two charging stops, arriving at a hotel charger in King's Lynn with only 3% battery remaining. The trip highlights the reduced efficiency of EVs when towing heavy loads, emphasizing the need for careful route planning and charging management.

A journalist from Condé Nast Traveller shared her experience of a camper van trip through North Wales, renting a vehicle via Goboony.
