A move to create a five-star touring caravan park beside a pig farm has been challenged amid claims the proposed site would in fact have little to offer holiday-makers.

Objectors to a planning application lodged with North Yorkshire Council to convert grazing land into a site for up to 50 touring pitches and ten camping pitches off Thirsk Road, Easingwold, have questioned the developers’ claim that the caravan park is “within easy walking distance” of the market town. The council stipulates that proposals for new tourist accommodation will be only be supported where it is demonstrated a site is accessible to local services and public utilities.

The application highlights research by the UK Caravan and Camping Alliance showing the caravan sector has a sizeable off-site spend of £63 per visitor per night into local economies and names a number of businesses in the town centre which have backed the venture.
