Plans to develop new Irvinestown caravan park

PLANS have been lodged for what could be a major new tourist facility in Irvinestown.
Planning permission is being sought to develop a new caravan park adjacent to the Bawnacre Centre.
The application also outlines plans for an amenity building, a storage shed and a package treatment in a significant boost to his business.
Fermanagh and Omagh District Council has been coming under major pressure in recent years to develop an area for overnight stay facilities for motorhomes, campervans or caravans locally.
They’ve remained steadfast in their approach to “signpost them” to other campervan sites.
“The Council proactively engages with motorhome and camper van drivers to signpost them to that network of licensed sites,” the Council previously said in a statement to the ‘Herald.
“Given the extent of private sector facilities which exist within the district, the Council has no plans to develop provision of overnight stay facilities for motorhomes, camper vans and caravans.”
