Sheppey Village holiday park in Leysdown submits plans to replace 48 static caravans with 29 ‘modern’ chalets
May 17, 2025
Plans have been submitted to upgrade a number of caravans into "high-quality" lodges at a holiday park.
Family-run Sheppey Village in Leysdown intends to replace 48 existing chalets with 29 new, energy-efficient ones.
The site, north of Leysdown Road and east of Warden Bay Road, was originally approved in 1955 and is now a well-established holiday park.
329 static caravans were constructed, although 27 have been lost over time due to dilapidation.
Previously known as Isle of Sheppey Holiday Village, the owners changed it to a "more modern name" in April last year and is now called Sheppey Village.
This is to coincide with the improvements and upgrades to the accommodation.
A planning application, submitted last month, is asking Swale council for permission to replace the lodges in the north-west corner.
In the documents, it states that the current buildings have a “basic closet” but no washing facilities apart from a kitchen sink.
“The existing chalets date back to the 1950s-60s and are in varying states of repair as they have been modified and upgraded by individual owners over the years,” it goes on to say.
“It is not practical to try and upgrade the shell of the buildings to modern standards.
“For example, the original wall thickness is 100mm compared to the proposed insulated construction of 300mm. The same difference applies to the floor and roof.”
