The Caravan and Motorhome Club submitted a planning application that included the demolition and reconstruction of two toilet blocks, additional pitches, and a new play area. There is also a new site manager accommodation unit on the site at Lime Tree Avenue in Clumber Park, a report said.
Bassetlaw District Council received the plans on July 12, and a decision is expected by September 8.
The National Trust has received a letter opposing the plans.
The letter stated that the Caravan Club site is an established feature within Clumber Park since several decades.
While there have been discussions about improving the site in the past, the management at the Caravan Club is yet to engage with Clumber Park’s Estate Manager or General Manager regarding this current proposal.
Unfortunately, even though it looks like National Trust’s Head Office was notified, the local team only recently became aware of this planning application. National Trust will need to review these plans further in order to have a discussion with our Tenant.
“In the interim, we recommend that the processing of this application be suspended or withdrawn until an agreement is reached between Tenant and Landlord. There is a possibility that the National Trust will reject plans approved by Council or vice versa.,” the letter read.
Clumber Park is a part of the former Sherwood Forest.
