PLANS: Kilve Beach Car Park. Pic: Colvin & Colvin Architects. VISITORS to a Somerset beauty spot could keep being hit with steep parking fines after “un-consented” changes to a car park were allowed to remain in place. The East Quantoxhead Estate runs the Kilve Beach car park, providing access to one of the most popular unspoilt beaches on the West Somerset coast. The estate made changes to the car park without planning permission, installing new ticket machines and a number plate recognition camera which has led to numerous visitors being hit with £100 fines. Somerset West and Taunton Council has now agreed to grant retrospective permission for the changes – despite numerous councillors arguing it would ruin the local area.
