A leisure park in Lincolnshire is celebrating after getting the green light from councillors to go ahead with its expansion plans.
Grange Leisure Park in Mablethorpe had submitted two planning requests, one to expand its site and another to built a state-of-the-art cafe and the planning committee at East Lindsey District Council have given both requests the ok.
The old building will now be knocked down to make way for a striking new, contemporary cafe that will come complete with outdoor seating and a car park, the East Coast Target reported.
In a further boost for the local tourism industry, four new static caravans are to be added to the site.
Coastfield Leisure Ltd, who own the Grange Leisure Park, have also submitted plans for 55 new touring pitches, toilet and shower blocks and a new reception area.
The planning committee were very impressed with the new designs, and councillor Steve O’Dare went as far as to tell the newspaper that he wished there were more buildings of its kind.
Lincs Design Consultancy’s Andrew Clover, who drew up the plans for the cutting edge development, said that the design would bring the cafe back to life while contributing to the local economy.
“The regeneration of the site will reinstate an important tourist attraction, which is within the heart of the newly created Lincolnshire Coastal Country Park,” he said.
Meanwhile, a caravan park in Sussex has revealed it is shipping £17 million worth of rocks from Norway in a bid to prevent further coastal erosion of its neighbouring beach.
