Remove your luxury lodges

Caravan park issued with two formal enforcement notices

TWO formal enforcement notices citing “significant visual harm” have been issued against an award-winning seaside retreat on Anglesey.

The action, against Silver Bay Holiday Park near Rhoscolyn, could result in six luxury lodges being removed and extensive land reinstatement carried out.

The near-the-beach lodges were built on artificially raised land to give them sea views “to die for”. They were part of Bulmer Leisure's Bay View development, begun in 2018 to accommodate 25 lodges.

Silver Bay Holiday Park was established almost 40 years ago by the famous cider-making Bulmer family, basing it in on the Bodior Estate they once used as their own holiday retreat.

The park offers access to one of Anglesey’s most unspoilt beaches and a decade ago a luxury leisure complex was built as part of a £2.5m site upgrade.

Bulmer Leisure argued the land in question had been an integral part of the venture for more than a decade, with no barriers between it and the rest of the caravan park.

Moreover, the site had been clearly distinguishable from the open land beyond, said the company.
