Lake District static caravan park set for approval despite 26 objections
Original source: News and Star

Lake District National Park Authority officers recommend approval for converting a former touring caravan site into a 44-pitch static caravan park. Eurotrading NE Ltd's plan reduces pitches from 53, removes old reception buildings, and includes conditions on drainage, lighting, and biodiversity. Despite 26 objections citing loss of tranquillity and seasonal community concerns, planners argue the site's lack of demand for touring pitches makes the change acceptable.

Lake District static caravan plan refused over ‘permanent base’ fears

The Lake District National Park Authority's development control committee rejected a proposal by Eurotrading NE Ltd to convert the Dockray Meadow touring caravan park (53 pitches) into a static caravan site (44 pitches). Despite officer recommendations for approval, members voted 8-1 against, citing loss of touring pitches and unclear management model. The refusal was based on Policy 18 of the Local Plan, which requires maintaining a range of caravan and camping accommodation.

1966 motorhome with Mini garage and recording studio

In 1966, British coachbuilder Harold Radford Coachbuilders built the Transcontinental Carabus Mk2 motorhome for steel magnate Philip Lee, based on an AEC Reliance bus. The 11-metre vehicle featured a hydraulic lift for a Mini Cooper S, a recording studio, two toilets, a roof-access lift, and a kitchen with a dishwasher.
