It was considered that the car park was confined and the provision of a catering van on the site would take up already limited parking spaces leading to on-road parking to the detriment of highway safety, and would lead to a lack of space for safe manoeuvring within the park which was an area well-used by walkers and their pets, contrary to LDP Policy MV1.
