A major holiday park plan has been turned down amid concerns over the “detrimental” impact it would have on Gwynedd’s coastal landscape. The Eryri National Park Authority’s planning and access committee rejected an application from Sunbeach Holiday Park, based at Llwyngwril, during a meeting on Wednesday, on May 22. Bosses at the park, which is located north of Tywyn and south of Barmouth, wanted to make changes to the existing layout.
An application outlined plans for a new site entrance with internal access road, amenity area and a redistribution of caravans.

The proposal “did not entail an increase in the overall number” of caravans on the park, officers said, but the redistribution of 36 of 455 units “already consented”.
But members heard most of the application site was east of the Cambrian railway line, where there were presently no caravans. The Sunbeach park, on 11.6 acres, formed following the amalgamation of two adjacent caravan sites, planning documents stated.
It was.
