Planners approve new holiday homes
Planning permission has been granted for an additional 35 holiday homes at Goosewood Holiday Park, near Sutton-on-the-Forest in North Yorkshire.
National consultants Pegasus Group secured the permission on behalf of Flower of May Holiday Parks, providing planning, landscape and economic services.
Planning officers from Hambleton District Council recommended the scheme for approval which forms a natural infill of the existing caravan park.
The site comprises about 6.3ha of unallocated land outside of development limits, within the open countryside.
To the north of the site lies the original Goosewood Holiday Park serving 100 touring caravans and containing the Park’s leisure complex and amenity facilities.
Chris Calvert, executive director at Pegasus Group’s Leeds office, said: “This is good news for Goosewood Holiday Park, which will now be able to accommodate 135 holiday homes and continue to grow the business.
“Our client, Flower of May Holiday Parks, are delighted and look forward to providing an improved holiday park for future guests.”
In a detailed planning statement, Pegasus Group said the additional holiday homes would provide substantial economic benefits through the provision of much needed tourist accommodation which in turn would benefit the local economy, employment and boost visit spend significantly in the area.
