32 more lodges planned in extension to holiday park

Westmorland and Furness Council has received plans to extend Flusco Wood Holiday Park near Penrith with 32 additional holiday lodges. The application, submitted on behalf of Messrs G, R and C Chamberlain, covers 1.96 hectares of agricultural land. The new single-storey, caravan-style lodges will have timber cladding, matching existing units. The applicant states the extension will not significantly increase traffic and will use the existing access road. The site adjoins land already approved for a previous extension.

Scout camp gets permission for static caravan in ancient woodland

The Lake District National Park Authority has granted retrospective planning permission for a static caravan placed in ancient woodland, despite acknowledging some harm. The caravan was installed on the site of a demolished garage at Great Tower Scout Camp on Cartmel Fell. The approval, granted on August 7, requires reducing the deck and carrying out compensatory tree planting within a year. The planning report noted the garage demolition was not permitted development, but the caravan could remain as ancillary staff accommodation, providing a significant fallback position.

Council approves expansion of caravan park near Carlisle off A7

Cumberland Council planners have approved an additional 19 caravan pitches at Camelot Caravan Park in Longtown, near the A7. The decision was made on Monday, August 10. The extension will be located on the north-east boundary of the existing site, adjacent to woodland. Access will be via an existing road, and the layout will mirror the current park. The council noted the site is well screened by vegetation and will not impact neighboring properties, deeming the proposal compliant with planning policies.

Caravan park residents in Bradford anxious over future of their homes

Residents of Dobrudden Farm Caravan Park in Baildon, home to about 100 people, are worried about the possible sale of the land owned by Bradford Council. The Lawrence family, which has run the park for 70 years, failed to buy the freehold after a higher bid from another party. The sale decision has been called in for further review, with no final decision made.
