Holiday park plans to expand by 16 static caravans

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 13:31 · Archive

Horizon Holiday Parks has submitted plans to add 16 static caravans to Dalton Meadows Country Park between Darlington and Northallerton.

Horizon Holiday Parks has filed a planning application with North Yorkshire Council to expand Dalton Meadows Country Park at Dalton-on-Tees by adding 16 static caravans, increasing the total from 36 to 52. The additional caravans would be installed within the park's existing boundaries rather than extending the site into surrounding countryside.

The park was granted planning permission in 2020 for 38 static caravans, originally comprising 22 larger double-width units and 16 smaller single-width caravans. However, demand has shifted towards smaller units, with only two of the 36 caravans currently installed being double-width models. This has freed up space within the park's layout.

Planning consultants Wardman Brown supporting the application said the smaller caravan sizes had created sufficient room for the expansion without increasing the park's footprint. The expansion maintains the minimum six-metre separation between caravans required under council regulations. Wardman Brown stated: 'This proposal does not see an external expansion of the Park but by using the Regulation Separation Distances for setting out caravans, there is more than sufficient space to site the additional 16 units and include the ecological improvements.'
