Numerous residents have lodged objections this week with the North York Moors National Park Authority
Documents lodged with the authority state 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 firm says having provided accommodation for workers in holiday cottages, hotel rooms and a former care home it has become clear “further accommodation of a more consistent standard is required”. However, within days of the firm’s plans being published, residents of Egton and caravan park users appealed to the park authority to dismiss the scheme, saying despite having received assurances over the mine as the scheme was approved, it was greatly impacting on their lives.
Another resident wrote how the mine area is already “lit up like Blackpool, driving all wildlife away”, while others questioned the overall public benefits of the scheme and said it was high time the authority resisted the requests of the firm.
