Salcombe Regis villagers protest static caravans plans

On the 11 April 2023 edition of the Sidmouth Nub News, we ran an article headed "Salcombe Regis Villagers Protest Static Caravans Plans". Unfortunately, the article contained factual errors in that it referred to Serenity Leisure Parks as providing "high-end park homes in desirable locations across the UK for people in later life" when in fact Serenity Leisure Parks is a holiday park operator that provides camping, caravan and holiday homes. We would like to apologise to Serenity Leisure Parks for this error.

----------

Residents of Salcombe Regis are protesting against plans to allow static caravans at the village's camping and caravan park.

The villagers are urging East Devon District Council to reject the application from Serenity Leisure Parks.

Salcombe Regis resident Daphne Sleight, 95, said: "This is one of the most beautiful and peaceful villages in Devon and we need to protect its uniqueness."

Conservative MP for East Devon Simon Jupp, whose constituency includes Salcombe Regis, said: "I have contacted the council to raise my concerns on behalf of the village.

"I fully support the residents in their campaign to protect such a beautiful part of East Devon."

Nub News has contacted Serenity Leisure Parks for comment.

The application is currently awaiting a decision from East Devon District Council.
