Moray holiday park expansion approved despite objections
Original source: Northern Scot

Plans to add 21 static caravans at Silver Sands Holiday Park in Lossiemouth, Moray, have been approved by planning officers, overriding 18 objections from residents and caravan owners. Critics cited strain on amenities like the swimming pool and clubhouse, as well as environmental concerns about coastal dunes. Officials ruled most objections as non-material to planning, noting the development is on grassland, not dunes, and that internal road management is a private matter for the operator.

£5m holiday park set for refusal over 'unacceptable' impact on landscape and ecology

Councillors will be recommended to refuse plans for a £5m luxury Scottish Borders holiday park when they meet next week. The 40-lodge development, creating 18 jobs, has been earmarked for land west of and incorporating Earlshaugh Farm in Jedburgh and would include an office, reception and a manager's accommodation lodge. The application from Little Sodbury-based CampbellMac Developments Ltd received 13 objections on the grounds of loss of and harm to ecological habitats, including trees and sites of Special Scientific Interest, as well as inadequate access, noise pollution and road safety. A report to members of SBC's Planning & Building Standards Committee recommends refusal, stating that the development would give rise to significant adverse impacts to the Teviot Valley SLA, which are not outweighed by social, environmental or economic benefits.
