“Rhif y Cais / Application Reference A250746 Derbyniwyd / Received 06-10-2025 Y Bwriad / Proposal Proposed Relocation of 17no. Caravans from Wern Mill Caravan Park, and 30no. Caravans from The Village Holiday Park, to allow for 47no. Pitches at Ocean Heights Holiday Parks Lleoliad Safle / Site Location Ocean Heights caravan Park, Maenygroes, New Quay.”

“A public right of way footpath crosses through the site. The application also refers to Wern Mill Caravan Park, which is located in proximity to Gilfachreda, and directly adjacent to the B4342. It lies approximately 2.5 miles to the east of Ocean Heights Caravan Park. The application also refers to Village Holiday Park which is located within Cross Inn, and is approximately 0.7 miles from Ocean Heights Park. The application site itself has no planning history.”

“It is acknowledged that the proposal gives rise to a range of benefits. These include the provision of additional landscaping, green infrastructure, biodiversity enhancement and sustainable drainage measures at the application site. In addition, the removal of touring caravans from a discrete part of the Village Holiday Park would result in some localised visual improvement within that site.”

“The proposal has not demonstrated that it would deliver a significant and permanent visual improvement at the source sites, nor that it would avoid a significant negative visual effect at the receiving site. The fallback position at Wern Mill is acknowledged as a material consideration; however, the avoidance of potential future intensification does not equate to the delivery of a policy‑compliant visual benefit arising directly from the proposal.”

“CONSULTATION RESPONSES Cyngor Cymuned Llanwchaeron Community Council: Object - It was noted that the extension is a substantial one that would double area of the site The proposed scheme would come very close to the adjoining dwelling and is likely to affect the quality of life of the residents there. There were no obvious benefits to the local community arising from this application, and no evidence of any community benefits was presented to the council.”
