Caravan site no longer in the works due to council’s preference of potatoes
Recent plans to introduce a caravan park on land in a village in Worcestershire have been dropped and replaced with King Edward potatoes.
During a meeting with Wychavon District Council‘s planning committee earlier this month, it was determined that proposals for a 15 pitch caravan site in the village of Crossway Green, near Stourport, was not the direction the council wished to take as far as a use for the land was concerned.
Councillor Nigel Dowty, talked down plans for the site, saying: “This site is not in a sustainable location as evident by being outside a development boundary. The site is, in my opinion, countryside.
Dowty, who also owns local Ombersely Golf Club, where memberships starts from £525 plus £150 entrance fee, continued: “This is grade one agricultural land. I am not convinced this is a good use of this land to give people a good living environment.
“I would much prefer to see some King Edwards growing on there than some caravans.”
What do you think of this decision made? Is this simply a case of pomposity or is something else going on?
