The owners of a potash mine near Whitby want to build temporary accommodation to house 400 workers.
Plans to turn a North Yorkshire caravan park into temporary accommodation for 400 workers building a nearby mine have received a series of objections.
More than 25 respondents have told the North York Moors National Park Authority it would have a detrimental impact on them., one letter objecting to the planning application said: "Our roads are busy enough as it is without these comings and goings, it's absolutely absurd to believe this won't add a risk to people and wildlife."
Documents lodged with the authority say Anglo American is seeking consent for two-person cabins, with solar panels, in the place of the 189 pitches on the caravan park, as well as welfare lodges. The planning documents state the proposed scheme would help reduce pressure on alternative additional tourism accommodation that would otherwise need to be used by the project's contractors and lead to a net reduction in total vehicle movements through the park.
