Plans underway to improve caravan site near Normanby Hall with £100,000 cash injection from council
Plans to improve an existing caravan touring site at Normanby Country Park in North Lincolnshire are in motion.
The caravan site, originally established in 2001 and consisting of just five pitches, looks set to be extended to allow for ten pitches, as well as the introduction of electricity in order to improve the overall caravanning experience on the site close to historic Normanby Hall.
The move to add pitches and extend the park would require a licence as well as a number of improvements, including upgrading the shower and toilet facilities at the golf clubhouse within the park grounds and installing a controlled entry system.
A North Lincolnshire Council report concerning the proposed plans states: “Officers and members believe that the new facilities would prove popular with visitors, potentially leading to a boost in visitor numbers to the country park, including by visitors from outside the North Lincolnshire area.”
Moreover, the report adds that the £100,000 cost for expansion has not yet being approved, but could be taken from a budget underspend and therefore be accepted by the council.
Normanby Country Park is set amongst three hundred acres of parkland and woodland and is also home to herds of red and fallow deer and a well stocked fishing lake.
The renewed site would be ready for the public for the 2015/16 season.
