Caravan parks are popular in the North West

Leisure Sales celebrated a major victory last week after its plans for the development of a new touring caravan site in the town of Brereton won the backing of the local authorities.

The firm is now set to begin work on the new site, which will offer enough room for 43 caravan pitches along with a single-storey building featuring reception and office facilities.

Toilets, laundry and a washing-up area will also be developed as part of the new plans, which had previously faced opposition from local residents.

The Brereton Parish Council voted unanimously to object to the proposals, amid fears that the development would encroach on protected green fields.

However, councillors moved to dismiss these suggestions and approved the new initiative.

Speaking to the Crewe Chronicle, Leisure Sales noted that the plans would provide “valuable employment to a number of local people”.

“The main buildings and external display areas are sited approximately 200m from the nearest road and are extremely well screened by mature trees and landscaping planted over the last 15 years,” they added.

The Caravan Club will be hoping for a similar outcome from its application to develop a park in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, with these plans facing similar local opposition.
