Six static caravans approved for Primrose Valley Holiday Park
Filey Town Council also refused to support the application because of the "loss of amenity and green space" for residents, as well as "increased traffic and insufficient parking provision". According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, each new caravan pitch will have two car parking spaces and the development includes decking, associated access, landscaping, and infrastructure works.A report prepared by the council stated the proposal was visually proportionate to the existing caravan site.It said the planned units were "low-level structures and inoffensive" that would be well-integrated into the area.Planning officers said they did not consider there would be an undue un-neighbourly impact.They concluded that while the comments made by the town council and caravan owners at the park were noted, the majority of issues raised concern about the management of the park, not particularly this proposal.

Major phone network giving away £5 off takeaways, £1 coffees, £3 cinema trips & cheap day trips in huge ‘summer offer'
THREE is giving away loads of freebies and discounts as part of its rewards scheme over summer. It doesn't cost anything to join and is packed with perks for cheap days out, price cuts on food, and bargain coffee too. 2 The scheme is called Three+ and you're eligible as long as you're a Pay As You Go, Pay Monthly, or Business customer. All you need to do is download the Three+ app, sign in, and you'll be able to claim the rewards. Three has revealed all of the latest offers that are available over the summer, including an "ongoing" deal with Caffè Nero and local coffee shops that gets you a hot or cold barista-made drink for £1. "At Three we understand that the school holidays can feel long and daunting for parents and grandparents," a Three spokesperson told The Sun. "So, we want to help ease some stress by offering a range of exciting perks and rewards to suit everyone. "Whether it's catching the latest summer blockbuster, cooling off with an iced coffee or enjoying a meal out, our Three+ app helps customers do what they love for less." THREE+ LATEST OFFERS Here's the full list... Food & Drink Caffè Nero & local coffee shops – £1 hot or cold barista-made drink (ongoing, renews weekly) Just Eat (incl. McDonald's / KFC) – £5 off when you spend £10 (expires August 31) Days Out Free Disney+ for millions of Brits with simple subscription trick Cineworld & Picturehouse – £3 tickets Fri-Sun (ongoing, renews weekly) LOVEtheatre – £10 off tickets (expires December 31) English Heritage – 25% off annual membership for 2x adults and up to 12 children £36 (expires December 31) Tiqets ticket discounts – up to 45% off museums, theme parks, zoos plus extra 10% off with Three+ (expires December 31) Staying Over Trip – 10% off selected hotels (expires August 31) Airparks – up to 30% off airport parking (expires December 31) For Kids 2 Go Henry – two months free plus £15 pocket money (expires December 31) Banjo Robinson – free activity pack (expires December 31) It's difficult to say exactly how much you'll save from the scheme, because it depends what you buy. Three says that a Caffè Nero drink usually costs £3.49. So if you bought a £1 drink every week for a year, you'd save about £120 annually. GET FREE CINEMA TICKETS! If you want even cheaper trips to the cinema, there's a tip worth knowing... If you're a Sky Cinema customer, you can claim two free Vue tickets every month. They're available to use for any standard screening at Vue cinemas in the UK or Ireland between Sunday and Thursday. It means you can bring a friend or family member with you – and you'll both pay nothing. Just go into the My Skip app, sign in, and go into the Sky VIP rewards tab. It's a free scheme to join and has plenty of other offers too. Tap on the Your Vue Tickets tile, confirm your email, and then you can claim your codes once you've accepted the terms. You'll get two codes, each of which can be used to book a standard seat. Just show the codes at your local Vue cinema, or enter them online to book your seats. Picture Credit: Sky / Vue And Three says you'd save about £95.88 over the course of a year by dodging £7.99 per visit if you claim a Cineworld ticket every month. It's worth noting that Three also adds new offers from time to time, so it's worth checking back in the app to see if there are any new deals to claim.

We're being forced to rip down our entire holiday park after splashing our life savings… but we have one last hope
A COUPLE have been ordered to tear down the holiday park they invested their life savings into - but they have one final hope. Bonnie Fisher, 53, and Shane O'Neill had previously dreamed of an idyllic retirement complete with their own glamping site. 6 6 6 6 The couple spent their life savings on the project four years ago. They both sold their homes, as well as a jointly-owned cottage they had renovated, to buy the farmhouse and campsite in the country in Llangain, near Carmarthen, Wales. The site has certification by the Caravan and Motorhome Club for five caravans, motorhomes or trailer tents. It later expanded to include three glamping pods before the couple bought the site - and currently has 29 pitches. Parts of the site needed significant work, as the pair replaced a toilet and shower block, in addition to constructing a new reception building. This cost thousands on top of the initial purchasing cost. However, the council has now ordered the couple to tear down the buildings, as well as the glamping pods. It claimed that the site "was largely unauthorised". The couple, who live in the farmhouse, could be forced to close Church House Farm Getaways as a result. Bonnie, a nurse who runs a private aesthetics clinic, said: "This is our retirement project. We sold my house, we sold Shane's house, and we sold a jointly-owned cottage which we'd renovated to buy this place. Shocking moment mob beats up Brit tourist after he 'ploughs into woman while pulling wheelie on motorbike' in Thailand "We've got no plans to enlarge it. Visitors always get a good welcome. We like to see people come and enjoy themselves." Carmarthenshire Council previously refused a planning application in 2006 for 30 touring pitches and a toilet and shower block due to highway safety. It had previously granted temporary permission for a portable toilet block for two years in 2004. Bonnie and Shane said they were unaware the new shower block and reception building required planning permission. They then applied retrospectively, but this was denied by the council who said that the site was largely unauthorised. A further application for a certificate of lawfulness for the three glamping pods was also refused. In March of this year, an enforcement notice ordered the couple to remove the glamping pods, toilet and shower block, and reception building. They were also ordered to stop using the land as a caravan and campsite. An exemption was made for the area that had been certified by the Caravan and Motorhome Club. While the couple did acknowledge to the Planning and Environment Decisions Wales that a planning breach had occurred, they argued that the site expansion could be lawful because it had been there so long. Their agents urged the planning inspector to extend the three-month deadline so that they could draw up a certificate of lawfulness application or other planning applications to the council. But the inspector turned the appeal down saying that extending it to 12 months "would considerably prolong the identified public harm". In the hopes of keeping their beloved site, their planning agents are submitting a certificate of lawfulness application to the council arguing that it is in keeping with its historic wider use. This could help ensure that the toilet and shower block, reception building and glamping pods remain. Bonnie said: "We would appeal it. If that decision was upheld we would have to close it (the site) down." The site has won awards in recent years while some neighbours have backed the couple to say the site was well run, an asset to Carmarthenshire, and that steps were taken to ensure a free flow of traffic when caravans arrived. Bonnie said a council tourism officer visited the site and estimated it was worth £2.6 million in visitor spend to the wider economy. A council spokeswoman said: "As the local planning authority, Carmarthenshire Council does not condone unauthorised development and will use its full range of powers to seek to regularise development in the public interest." 6 6

One of the UK's biggest cathedrals to open for overnight stays for the first time ever
THERE are certain stays in the UK that have an added touch of grandeur - including this one at Winchester Cathedral. For the first time ever, visitors can stay on the site of Winchester Cathedral in a house with plush velvet sofas, huge bathrooms and a secret English garden. 5 5 For the first time ever, Winchester Cathedral will welcome tourists for short-term holiday lets. The home to the deans of Winchester, aptly called The Deanery, is available to book for a memorable city break. The house sleeps up to 10 people across five bedrooms, and has four bathrooms, including two ensuites, some with double sinks. There's a large modern kitchen as well as a large gallery that was first created to entertain King Charles II. The house is filled with antique furniture and there's a huge library full of antique books. Outside is a huge English garden where guests are welcome to play some lawn games, eat outside and of course, take in the view of the impressive cathedral. There's also a secret garden, called the Lower Deanery Garden which is not open to the public. It's described as being a "charming riverside retreat" and is guaranteed to be a peaceful spot away from any other visitors. It's pretty costly coming in at £4,500 per week, which jumps up to £5,500 per week over Christmas and New Year. The Pigsty in Winchester tops the list of most lusted after Airbnb homes by Brits 5 5 The money raised will go towards maintaining and operating Winchester Cathedral. And anyone wanting to stay will need to book sooner rather than later as the house is only available for a limited time until the new dean moves in next year. There's plenty to do around the city too, Sun writer Mia Lyndon, took a trip to Winchester earlier this year where she embarked on a 90-minute walking tour down the UK's oldest high street and gazed into the Itchen River. She also discovered cobbled backstreets and local boutiques like The Hambledon as well as P&G Wells, a 296-year-old bookshop with thousands of vintage novels. Another popular spot nearby is the village of Chawton, where you can visit Jane Austen's house where she worked on her novels, including Pride And Prejudice. You can take a look at her writing desk and ponder over her handwritten letters - entry costs £15 per person. Winchester Cathedral itself is the main attraction of the city and tickets to go inside cost £13 for adults and £5 for children. And here's a top travel destination in the UK that's often overlooked but has great secret spots and new attractions. Plus, check out Europe's best city break destinations where you only need two days to explore.
