Developers and caravan enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting news regarding a decision on plans to revamp a holiday caravan park in the Yarm area of Stockton-on-Tees.
According to a report from gazettelive.co.uk, the Stockton Council planning committee is meeting today (September 12th) to discuss plans for the site.
The Welsh Family Trust LLP has submitted the new application, which will see the development of 34 chalet-style residential caravans in the area, which was originally set aside to be developed into a campsite for up to 80 touring caravans.
This new project has already received the backing of planning officers, who have submitted a recommendation to approve the plans. However, the proposals have yet to receive the full backing of the local council.
The initiative has divided local residents, many of whom are concerned at the damage the development will do to local wildlife and drainage systems. Others, meanwhile, believe the plans could provide a major boost to tourism in the region.
Local objections have hindered a number of caravan park development plans in recent months, with one site in Climping, West Sussex delayed amid concerns from residents regarding the environmental impact.
