New Campsite on the way


Local residents around Shorefield Way have received a letter from The Camping & Caravanning Club inviting their views regarding an application to set up a small campsite on a property in the road.

The new Milford on Sea site would be for the exclusive use of members of The Camping & Caravanning Club, who are bound by the club's Code of Conduct. The club would carry our regular inspections to ensure standards are continually maintained.
 
A maximum of 5 caravan or motor homes would be allowed at any one time. To receive a certificate certain criteria regarding space and amenities must be met.

It is understood that the site does not actually need formal planning permission, however the Parish Council are discussing the application at their meeting in the Village Hall at 6.30pm on Monday 15th July 2013.
 
As with any change, there are likely to be two opposing views. Some may be concerned about the additional local traffic in the approaching roads, potential expansion or noise. Others may see it as a fair opportunity for the owners to enhance their income, and also a source of valuable additional income for the shops and eateries in the village.
 
Me? Well I cannot understand why anyone would want to sleep outside on the floor or in a mobile tin can. As so many people do it I must be missing something, so I suppose it must be a bit like an outdoor B&B, but you bring your own bedroom and breakfast.
 
Personally, I am more a bar, restaurant and comfortable bed sort of guy.
