Expansion plans
A planning application has been submitted to expand Reynard Crag Holiday Park near High Birstwith, close to Harrogate, in North Yorkshire. The proposal is to add six pitches for static caravans or lodges on pasture land south of the existing site.
Current status
The four-acre park currently has permission for 48 pitches. The application notes a shift in demand towards more spacious and private pitches, so the expansion will be low-density with landscaping. It also points to a rise in short breaks inland rather than on the coast. The park employs three people full-time. The changes are said to result in a slight increase in traffic and no negative impact on the landscape.
