Plan for another eight caravans in beauty spot prompts objections

A PROPOSAL to increase the number of touring caravans in a Llŷn peninsula beauty spot has prompted objections by Welsh countryside protection campaigners.

They say a “substantial number” of caravans already exist in the Sarn Bach/ Bwlch Tocyn area - “pressurising” local services.

The applicants say the caravan site helps provide jobs and supports the local economy.

The Berth Ddu caravan park at Bwlch Tocyn, Llanengan, wants to increase the number of caravan plots from seven to 15.

The proposal asks to extend an existing caravan site into an adjacent agricultural field, construct a new toilet and shower block, and carry out landscaping and associated works.

However, it is recommended for rejection when it comes before Cyngor Gwynedd's planning committee today.
