Cheshire is a popular caravanning destination

Caravan dealer Leisure Sales could be celebrating a major planning coup later this week, amid rumours that its proposal for a 43-pitch site in the Cheshire town of Brereton will be given the go-ahead.

According to a report from the Crewe Chronicle, the Cheshire East Council’s Southern Planning Committee is set to rule in favour of the proposal for the touring caravans site this week.

It comes after the news provider published extracts from the planning officer’s report, which concluded that the proposal was “acceptable” and “would not cause harm to the visual amenity of the surrounding area”.

The approval represents a significant development for the Caravan dealer, which also faced opposition from the Brereton Parish Council, amid fears over the development of the site on protected green fields and concerns at a potential increase in traffic volumes.

Previous applications from other firms were rejected on three separate occasions between 1974 and 1985, but it appears on this time the plans will be met with approval.

This success comes in the same week that proposals for a 59-pitch caravan park in the village of Llanberis, in Gwynedd were submitted to the Welsh authorities.
