Bassetlaw District Council ruled against the plan for the land off a 60mph stretch of Retford Road
Plans for a travellers’ caravan site near Retford that attracted nearly 50 objections have been refused. The site off Retford Road in Haughton would have included four pitches, each with a mobile home, dayroom, touring caravan and parking.
The application was submitted by the landowner William Finney. Slightly larger versions of the same plan have also been turned down several times. A total of 44 local residents had submitted objections, with none writing in favour. “The application would be visually obtrusive, out-of-character with the location, and could seriously compromise the nearby historically important features of the remains of a motte and bailey castle and one of the finest remaining duck decoys in Europe.”
