Recently approved plans for a 20-acre caravan site in Ludlow have been given a major boost after a local councillor threw his weight behind the project.
The development on Overton Road will be ‘the Savoy of caravan parks’, according to Martin Taylor-Smith, who sits on Shropshire Council.
“It is very good news for Ludlow. This is the ‘Savoy’ of caravan sites and will encourage more people to visit the area,” he said.
Situated between the River Teme and the A49, the new site will use land that was formerly an RAF camp, the Ludlow and Tenbury Wells Advertiser reports.
In total, it is estimated that it will cost £3 million to overhaul the site, with the first visitors expected to be welcomed next year.
Camper vans, touring caravans and tents will all be accommodated on site, the local newspaper adds.
Owner Morris Leisure of Shrewsbury already operates four caravan parks in Shropshire and Snowdonia.
