Plans for Great Ouseburn caravan park could see it double in size
A caravan park in Great Ouseburn could double in size if planning is approved by Harrogate Borough Council.
The Burrows Park currently hosts 60 pitches for campers and caravaners but if plans were approved it would have capacity for approximately 100 pitches.
The park's co-owner, Richard Kay, said this year had been "challenging" but over summer the park saw an influx of visitors as the staycation trend grew.
The 4 acres of land signposted for planning is already owned by the caravan park and currently used as an overspill area.
The plans include 57 further pitches, improved access, a toilet and shower block and a reception building.
The park said it has many eager people waiting to book a holiday and hoped this planning would allow it to facilitate everyone.
Mr Kay said:
Mr Kay has co-owned the site with his wife for seven years. As an avid caravaner himself he hopes the plans will bring more visitors to boost the local area.
