COUNCILLORS have approved plans for a $2 million redevelopment of a central Cowes camping and caravan park, but they aren't happy about it.
There has been a camping ground at 137-143 Thompson Avenue for decades. The developers propose to reduce the number of sites from 100 to 49 and upgrade facilities. They sought retrospective approval for works that have already begun to demolish existing buildings and build 12 cabins and an amenity block.
Holiday Lifestyle has been the subject of complaints by at least two purchasers who thought they were buying into a permanent lifestyle village only to find it would still be a caravan park.
There were 13 objections to the application.
