Caravanners in Monmouthshire look set to miss out on an all-new 30-tourer park, after plans to build on a site in Chepstow were rejected by local officials.
It had been hoped that the proposals would move forward after gaining approval from planning officers.
However councillors voted against the new development amid concerns about a stretch of road to the proposed new camping site, FreePressSeries.co.uk reports.
Commenting on that “notorious stretch of road”, officials warned that three lives had already been lost along this specific section of the highway.
Leading the concerns was councillor David Dovey, who described the caravan park plans as a “recipe for disaster” due to the close proximity of the nearby B3245 – a section of road that is popular among bikers.
There are currently 11 licenced touring caravan sites in Monmouthshire, with the Tump Farm site in Whitebrook among the standouts for visitors.
