Caravan park owners to learn fate

The application has met with opposition from local residents

The owners of a caravan park near Stokesley in Cleveland will soon discover whether they will be allowed to add an increased number of pitches.

The Toft Hill Farm site in Kirkby has applied for permission to house 15 further static caravans, with Hambleton District Council Development Management Committee set to vote on the matter tomorrow (January 7th).

According to the Gazette Live the application has been met with opposition from local residents, who have held meetings to discuss the issue.

The planning consent form asks for permission to change agricultural land into space for all-year-round static caravans for holiday use, as well as the construction of an amenity building.

“It really is a big issue for the village,” objector David Chadwick told the news provider.

“Between 50 or 60 people turned up to a meeting to discuss it. There are only 90 households in the village.”

Meanwhile, caravan owners have been urged to check their tyres, with mytyre.co.uk highlighting the dangers of unsafe treads on icy and snowy roads
