40 Holiday Lodges Update

[Harry]

This Planning Statement is prepared on behalf of Drayton Manor Park Ltd and supports a Reserve Matters application for the development of 40 holiday lodges on a site located to the south/south west of the existing camp site at Drayton Manor Park.

The principle of development has been accepted at the application site with an outline planning permission for the development of the site for 40 holiday lodges with associated access, car parking, landscaping and services, granted 17th June 2016.

As of the 5th July 2019, Staffordshire County Council have no objections on Highway grounds to this proposal.

Looking great and hopefully may be ready for the 2020/21 season.

I believe this one is still in the plans somewhere but may have been pushed back due to Covid-19.

Yeah that was probably the case. Wasn't there something about lodges in the 5 year plan?

Yep Thats the one.
I think they'll be a nice addition - expecially in the summer months

Think they want to have more offering at the park before they think of adding more lodging as there is currently 10 on the caravan site.

Well on the 5 year plan there listed to open in 2026.

I've just read an article in the Camping & Caravanning Club magazine, that they will not be re-opening next season. Drayton Manor didn't renew the licence. I wonder if this means DM will be pushing ahead with their own camping provision, such as the lodges described here?

It could be possible
I'm not sure how popular the hotel is as we don't have any statistics, but the carpark always looks quite busy, so expansion may be ideal.
