A Devon caravan park is set to invest £5 million into its facilities as part of plans to increase capacity.
The Paignton site currently has permission for 130 touring caravans, 40 timber-clad holiday caravans and a tented camping area.
However, if the Haulfryn Group gets permission from Torbay Council, it plans to turn Byslades International Touring Park into a facility comprising 108 timber-clad caravans, the Herald Express revealed.
General manager for the park Graham Lay said that it would be an exciting move for the site.
“It started off being four separate parks and over the years we’ve raised the standard of accommodation and facilities,” he explained.
Mr Lay added that work could start this year if the plans are approved.
In other news, the East Coast Target has revealed that one of the country’s rarest birds was found entangled in a fishing line at Pinetrees Leisure Park in Skegness.
However, park worker Simon Dodsworth contacted Lincolnshire Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group and it has now been taken to Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary to recover from its ordeal.
