A caravan park in the Vale of Glamorgan is due to get council approval to add 75 more pitches, it has been reported.

Llandow Caravan Park, which is based on a former Welsh airfield, is due to be allowed 35 seasonal pitches and 40 short-stay pitches, Wales Online reports.

Local councillors and marketing groups have backed the plans, calling them a boost to tourism in the region.

Claire Evans, the Vale council’s tourism and marketing manager, said: “There is a shortage of touring caravan pitches in the Vale and there is an increased demand from visitors looking for this type of holiday accommodation.”

Tourism is seen as “vital” in promoting a revival in the Welsh region, a local business group added.

The new pitches will be built on part of the Llandow Industrial Estate, which was highlighted earlier this year as the site of a controversial new application for oil and gas drilling.
