In Brief

A planning application has been submitted to expand Tregoad Caravan and Camping Park in Looe, Cornwall, with 39 lodges, while in Wales, retrospective permission for 36 caravans and 15 lodges at Penrhos Park in Llanrhystud has been recommended for approval.

Expansion in Looe

Tregoad Holiday Park Ltd has submitted a planning application to Cornwall Council to expand Tregoad Caravan and Camping Park in Looe. The project includes the construction of 39 lodges and associated infrastructure, including upgrades to electricity and water supply. The applicant claims the investment will benefit the local economy by creating jobs and attracting tourists.

Retrospective approval in Llanrhystud

Welsh authorities have recommended approval of a retrospective application to retain 36 caravans and 15 lodges at Penrhos Park in Llanrhystud. The structures were built after obtaining permission in 2019, but their location and orientation did not match the approved plan. The Development Committee of Ceredigion County Council will consider the matter on June 10.

New Quay caravan park extension plans again recommended for refusal

Plans to relocate 47 caravan pitches to Maenygroes near New Quay have been recommended for refusal by Ceredigion County Council planning officers ahead of a May 13 committee meeting. The application by Vale Holiday Parks Ltd involves moving 17 caravans from Wern Mill Caravan Park and 30 from The Village Holiday Park to Ocean Heights Holiday Parks. Objections from Llanllwchaearn community council and residents cite overdevelopment, road safety, and infrastructure strain. An officer report states the site lacks sustainable transport links and local services, and the proposal does not meet a specific local need.

Plan for more Gypsy and Traveller pitches in Rhondda Cynon Taf

Rhondda Cynon Taf Council is considering expanding the Beddau caravan site by nine pitches as part of a plan to meet the need for Gypsy and Traveller accommodation. A cabinet report recommends proceeding with phase one, which includes a site office and play area, and submitting a planning application. The council's Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation Assessment for 2022–2027 identified a need for 22 additional pitches by 2027 and five more by 2037. If approved, the expansion will be funded through Welsh Government grants or the existing affordable housing budget.
