Duporth, Tramp Haven

Planning at Duporth. Who needs it? Obviously not the people who have already started to rip down the chalet’s and generally start the demolition on the old Haven holidays site. I was taking the boy for a stroll on the beach when we were confronted with this devastation. The place is what looks like a tramps paradise complete with water slide and club house. There is even a beauty salon for the removal of those stubborn whiskers and in-growing butt hairs. Yes it seems like all is not well in the heart of the bay.

With the planning for 220+ homes plus industrial units applied for, the site will loose the majority of its luscious trees (some of which have preservation orders on), and buildings of special architectural interest.

On the upside, there is planning for 40 affordable homes and the employment generated by the development will be good for the area. But when will this all happen by and why has the ripping down already started when the planning permission has not been granted?

Lastly, there is nothing that smells worse than a wet tramp, so that’s a bonus!
