Approvals and refusal
In north Wiltshire, a park of 19 mobile homes for older people has been approved next to the Ministry of Defence site at Lyneham. The 1.6-acre site will also include a village shop and café. Sales will be age-restricted. Originally 50 homes were planned, but the number was reduced after consultations. The parish council and 65 residents objected.
On Anglesey (Wales), a 20-pitch tourist caravan site has been approved in Valley, near the A55. The applicant expects 10–13 jobs at an average occupancy of 60% and spending of £50 per person per day.
In West Norfolk, a bid to change the use of a barn at Poplar Farm in Walton Highway for caravan and campervan repair and sales was refused. A road safety report said the narrow Harps Hall Road with no passing places would be harmful to road safety.
