Holiday Caravan Sites (Wales) Bill
Response from: Pensieri Caravan Park

Dear Ms Chapman,

I am the Estate Manager of the Bodorgan Estate which includes the Pensieri Caravan Park near Rhosneigr on Anglesey.  This is a holiday park business, providing 62 pitches for static holiday caravans and has operated successfully for in excess of 40 years. We are part of a much larger diversified rural enterprise looking to establish a high quality leisure offer working in close connection with our local authority and the Welsh Government to create a sustainable future for our community.  Our holiday park is one essential constituent but we face stiff competition particularly from the West of England and I hope we will not be disadvantaged by this bill progressing.

I write in response to the consultation on the Holiday Caravan Sites (Wales) Bill. My trade association, BH&HPA has responded on behalf of all members and I endorse their evidence - on this link - to you http://bhhpa.org.uk/additional/files/bhhpa-response-to-assembly-consultation-on-holiday-caravan-sites-wales-bill-19-may-2014.pdf

I ask please that you ensure this park business is not placed at competitive disadvantage, jeopardising the direct and indirect employment we sustain.

Yours sincerely,

Tim Bowie PgD REM

Estate Manager
