New caravan site for Vatersay          4/9/11

A new caravan and camp site is being established on a croft at Uidh on Vatersay.

The facility which has received planing permission would incorporate stances for tents and 16 touring caravans, two static caravans, and a facilities block.

A number of objectors believed the proposal was too large in scale. They maintained it was badly sited and does not fit in the landscape.

Other concerns included noise, traffic, de-valuation of property, loss of amenity and loss of privacy.

Representations in support said the development is required in Barra and Vatersay and it would help support other businesses. One plus point is it would reduce the number of caravans parking in lay-bys.
