THE owners of a caravan park near Helensburgh have applied for planning permission to extend the site by adding a further 19 touring pitches.

Rosneath Castle Caravan Park also wants to add an associated wash building and shower/toilet units on land to the west of its existing site, which is accessed off the B833 road.

Blueprints which have been made available in Argyll and Bute Council’s planning portal show the planned site adjacent to an area known as Wallace’s Loup.

The proposed new pitches are located in one row of eight and one of eleven.

The holiday park reopened to guests at the end of April following the area's move into level 2 restrictions.

A decision is expected on the plans from council planning officers by the middle of July. The plans can be viewed in the planning portal at argyll-bute.gov.uk using the code 21/00473/PP.
