Item 1
Application Number: 4656/16
Proposal: Use of land for stationing of 31 holidays homes and relocation of site office.
Site Location: BROME & OAKLEY – Four Oaks Caravan Park.
Applicant: Mr B Gregory
Members were advised that an amended recommendation was contained in the supplementary papers.
PhillCobbold, Agent, advised that the additional holiday homes would be sited on the existing touring pitches and site office area. Touring caravans/tents would no longer be able to use the site. The existing ’28 day rule’ for occupancy had been considered unreasonable at appeal and the proposed occupancy condition reflected the wording commonly used for holiday units across the country. It was also much easier to enforce.
Councillor David Burn, Ward Member, advised that he had received no comments from local residents. The site was tidy and well managed and he supported the application.
Members considered the proposal satisfactory and Councillor David Whybrow proposed the motion which was seconded by Councillor Sarah Mansel.
By an unanimous vote
