Scout camp gets permission for static caravan in ancient woodland

The Lake District National Park Authority has granted retrospective planning permission for a static caravan placed in ancient woodland, despite acknowledging some harm. The caravan was installed on the site of a demolished garage at Great Tower Scout Camp on Cartmel Fell. The approval, granted on August 7, requires reducing the deck and carrying out compensatory tree planting within a year. The planning report noted the garage demolition was not permitted development, but the caravan could remain as ancillary staff accommodation, providing a significant fallback position.
