Plans afoot for Northumberland caravan park
Plans for a holiday park have been submitted to
Northumberland County Council in a move which could bring 36 log
cabins and nine touring caravan pitches to the area.
The proposed site is close to the A1 at West Thirston and would
be made up of 21 two-bedroom and 15 three-bedroom log cabins, a
manager's lodge and an on-site shop.
The environmentally friendly Elm Park holiday site would also
feature shower and toilet facilities and a designated area for
children to play should planners give it the thumbs-up.
The application, by Clive Milner, also includes plans for a
footbridge and access road. Caravanners who care for the
environment may be hoping the plans get the nod - however they'll
have to arrange some caravan insurance ahead of any trips.
Gary Swarbuck, the applicant's agent, said: "It is our intention
to provide an eco-friendly development of 36 log cabins and nine
touring caravan pitches that will sit comfortably within the wider
landscape setting through the implementation of a comprehensive
landscaping scheme.
"Elm Park will accommodate log cabins built to the very latest
standards using only sustainable materials and the biodiversity
value of the site will be promoted through the provision of a
number of nature walks throughout the site and a dedicated nature
area."
