Councillors rule on Goring Gap campsite plans amid call to protect green spaces
Goring Gap will remain undeveloped after plans for a camping and caravan site which attracted more than 400 objections was thrown out by councillors.
Applicant Sylvatica Limited hoped to construct the 46-pitch facility and amenity block on land north of Marine Drive, arguing it was a ‘much-needed’ tourist attraction.
But residents, conservation groups and councillors strongly objected to the ‘highly intrusive’ plans, which they feared could set a precedent for further development of the green gap.
