A £8 million holiday park development is proposed behind the Black Horse pub in Kirkby Fleetham, North Yorkshire. The plans include 24 holiday lodges, a spa, padel courts, two ponds, and motorhome parking. Local opinion is divided: some residents raise concerns about noise, light pollution, and loss of wildlife habitat, while others support the scheme, citing benefits for the pub and local economy.
Multiple proposals for new caravan parks, holiday lodges and campsites across England are generating mixed reactions. Projects in North Yorkshire, York, East Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Bristol and Essex face both objections and backing from residents and councils.
More than £3,000 has been raised via GoFundMe for a couple who lost their home in a static caravan fire on Undley Road in Lakenheath. The blaze, which started on Tuesday morning, spread to outbuildings, fencing and vegetation. Two people were taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital. The fundraising target is £9,000.
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.
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.
