Search the Public Notice PortalPlans have been put forward for a sizeable static caravan park in the north Herefordshire countryside.
The proposal is for 12 holiday lodges, 32 static holiday caravans and 16 touring pitches plus a shower and utility room at the spot between Ludlow and Tenbury Wells.
The lodges would go around two ponds at the site, while the holiday caravans would each have “generous pitch sizes over and above the caravan site licence standard”, according to the application from John Stinton of The Beech, Haynall Lane, Little Hereford (application 250812).

These would go on an area already used for auctions and as an agricultural market for goods by a local estate agent as well as for sheep grazing, it adds.
There would be “considerable additional landscaping” to minimise the scheme’s visual impact, while the caravans themselves would be have darker, less reflective finishes “more sympathetic to the rural landscape”.

Nor would they form “the usual rows of static caravans”, so avoiding “a suburban layout.”
The application is accompanied by a landscape and visual appraisal, ecological impact assessment, flood risk assessment and transport statement.

The proposal would “diversify further the traditional agricultural area providing wider economic support locally and basis for future employment”, the application concludes.
It can be commented on until June 13.
Mr Stinton was granted retrospective permission in 2018 to consolidate storage of touring caravans and motorhomes which had been “distributed on and around the overall site over the previous four to 12 years”.
