Strongly opposed plans to put 65 lodge-style caravans on farmland near Filey have been thrown out by councillors, who said the area already has enough holiday sites.
The plans – which also included a reception building, cafe, swimming pool, play area and changing rooms – attracted more than 230 objections from residents after first being submitted in October 2021.
These included objections from Filey Town Council, Hunmanby Parish Council, and Reighton and Speeton Parish Council.
Businessman Wayne Low is behind the plans and previously withdrew an application for 78 lodge-style caravans at the Sands Road site.
His latest proposals were unanimously refused by councillors on Thursday.
The decision comes as Natural England is in the process of launching an examination of designating the Yorkshire Wolds an area of outstanding natural beauty, and there are suggestions that this area should be included.
Speaking at yesterday’s meeting, resident Nigel Clarke said the development would be “highly visually intrusive” on the open countryside and add to a “straggle” of holiday sites along the coast.
He also said the proposals would “ruin” Hunmanby Gap – a popular beach which stretches two miles wide.
