I have read in today’s Eastern Daily Press that the application to expand the Whitwell Station campsite by adding a small number of static caravans has been turned down again, with one of the excuses being the track to the campsite being too narrow and Whitwell Road also being too narrow to cope with the additional traffic generated which with five caravans if fully occupied would probably be no more than 10 vehicle movements a day.
There will be far more traffic using Whitwell Road generated by the new housing development off Broomhill Lane but the planners didn’t object to that.
Two hundred yards of unmade road is nothing compared with the two miles of rough track leading to one campsite I visit in Yorkshire.
Every few days there are reports in the EDP about small housing developments or small business expansions being turned down by local planning departments for the most dubious of reasons, whereas they seem quite happy to permit larger developments or massive solar farms.
