PLANS for a recreation centre at a Teesdale caravan site were deferred yesterday for a site visit by councillors.
Planning officers had recommended approval for the centre at Cragwood Caravan Site, Ramshaw.
Local councillor Raymond Gibson said: "There does seem to be an element of doubt about this in Ramshaw. I've had quite a few phone calls about it, some people are worried it might attract yob culture. It's such an important caravan site for Teesdale I would like a site visit so members can make their own minds up."
An application for a community centre at the site was refused in 2002 because the creation of a residential unit in open countryside was inappropriate. The residential accommodation has been removed from the revised plans.
