Plans for a five-star touring caravan site in Shropshire worth around £3 million have been submitted to the local council.

According to Shropshire Live, Morris Leisure is looking to develop the 20-acre site on the outskirts of Ludlow.

If given the go-ahead, the park will be home to 135 touring pitches. Council approval would pave the way for building work to begin this summer.

Morris Leisure, which owns a number of luxury caravan parks in Shropshire and Snowdonia, said the Ludlow development could generate up to £1 million a year for the local economy.

“There is enormous potential for a five star touring park in this area,” said Edward Goddard, managing director of Morris Leisure.

“The riverside location is ideal because it is well screened and peaceful, yet has good access to the old A49 and is within walking distance of the town.”

Morris Leisure has already held a public meeting to communicate its proposals to local people, as well as a two-day exhibition of its plans.
