A FRESH bid to extend a caravan site has brought objections from a parish council which says if it went ahead, more people would be living in caravans than in the village.
Roecliffe, near Boroughbridge, already has two caravan parks, said the parish council.
Planning officers are recommending that permission for the scheme, submitted by the Caravan and Camping Club at Bar Lane, should be refused.
Roecliffe and Westwick Parish Council said reasons given for the refusal of a previous application, in December 2002, still applied.
The parish council has submitted a six-point protest ahead of a planning meeting of Harrogate Borough Council, at Knaresborough, on Tuesday.
The parish council said that though screening had been improved, the scheme would still be very intrusive.
The applicants want to extend the site, with 26 static caravans, create a recreation area and dog-walking zone along with landscaping and access works. They also want to remove a section of hedgerow
