Caravan Insurance

Officials in Scotland have turned down proposals to convert a former tile works into a static caravan site, according to a national news source.

The BBC has stated that Westrock Developments had looked to install 103 static vehicles at Carty Port close to the Dumfries and Galloway region.

However, the news source added that despite approval for the site to be turned into a tourist attraction, Scottish ministers voted against turning the area into a caravan park.

It may be that the presence of 103 extra caravans could have resulted in an increase in the cost of caravan insurance in the region.

This is because some cover firms could view the area to be more of a risk for a motor home owner due to the additional vehicles.

According to the BBC, the Carty Port Community Project is intending to buy the building as well as surrounding land under right-to-buy legislation.

This comes as the South Devon Herald Express has reported that caravans in Asburton were burnt in a caravan site fire early yesterday morning.

Some 30 caravans and three trailer tents were alight and £350,000 of damage was caused.
