Last week we reported how Byslades International Touring Park is set for a £5 million investment into refurbishing facilities. Now we can report another Devon caravan park has been given the green light, this time for a £2.5 million investment into its facilities.
Brixham-based Landscove Holiday Park is set to add 101 mobile homes to its cliff top site on Gillard Road, the Herald Express reported.
However, Torbay Council went against the wishes of Brixham Town Council in granting permission for the move.
Fears over the visual impact of the site in an area of outstanding natural beauty led to some councillors expressing their lack of support for the project.
Despite this, Torbay Council voted in favour of the move, putting 26 conditions in place that owners Park Holidays UK must adhere to in order for work to begin.
The provisos reflect residents’ views on traffic volume, sewage and the impact on the environment and local wildlife.
Some councillors were in favour of the move, with Kevin Carroll telling the newspaper that “it is a great vote of confidence” for the town that someone wants to invest so much money.
In other news, the St Albans & Harpenden Review has revealed that a court case has begun surrounding a farm owner’s intention to create three caravan pitches on his land.
