Lovat Parks Ltd is exploring a 3,965 sq m (0.98-acre) extension of Herdwick Croft Caravan Park at Ouse Bridge near Bassenthwaite onto land adjoining its north-eastern edge. The company has asked the Lake District National Park Authority to determine whether a full Environmental Impact Assessment is required; a full planning application has not yet been submitted. The existing 4.8-hectare park already has permission for 120 static caravans, tents, four glamping pods and five holiday cottages. Consultants refer to a 'modest number of additional plots' without specifying how many.
