Council refuse permission for single caravan site near Stokesley - Yorkshire

From the Northern Echo

A planning application to build a stable building and retrospective permission for a caravan, hard standing, tree house and dog kennels for one Gypsy family near Stokesley, has been refused by Hambleton Borough Council. The bid was turned down at today’s (Thursday, May 23) planning committee on the grounds that the site, Millies Paddock, on Thirsk Road, Stokesley was in an area known to have a high risk of flooding and that it would be placing the family, including children and animals, at risk.
