Mark Bouldy, the landowner of Grenocide Farm, has proposed the ambitious plan to turn his redundant land into a camping and caravanning complex, in time for next year’s Tour de France.
With room for 30 touring caravan pitches, as well as camping space for 50 tents, Mark hopes his project will be viable and produce not only a great caravanning destination, but increased tourism and job opportunities to those in the area.
Working with the structures already in place, Mark intends to convert the barn into an office and reception, the shed into a children’s play area and an on site derelict building into a shower and toilet block.
Despite permission not yet being granted, Mark remains confident that his investment will indeed be worthwhile. Speaking to the Sheffield Telegraph he said: “I could fill it straight away.
“Sheffield is supposed to be trying to attract people to see what a good place it is. This is for people who want to enjoy the environment”.
