CAMPAIGNERS have hit out over plans for an 120-pitch campsite in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
A petition group, called Beautiful Bradfield, was launched after a change of use application to turn farmland into a campsite was lodged to Tendring Council by Ragmarsh Farm.
If the plans are given the greenlight, the campsite would be based by the River Stour on land west of Shore Lane.
Campers would be able to use the site between April 1 and October 1.
But campaigners are concerned the campsite would increase traffic around the village, and locals would experience noise, litter and pollution from campers.
