North Yorkshire holiday park permitted to start £200k development

Wayside Holiday Park in the North Yorkshire Moors has been granted planning permission for a “game-changing” new development.

Ryedale District Council has approved plans for Wayside to create 13 new pitches for luxury caravans and lodges in the centre of the park. The £200k development means the end of seasonal touring caravans on site.

Owner Mark Goodson responded: “This is a crucially important development for us – and we are grateful to Ryedale District Council’s planners for giving us the green light.

“We are confident that the demand for our new pitches is there, given the staycation boom and the tremendous success of our up-market Lakes development at Wayside, where we have sold 36 out of 37 lodges.”

Work has now begun on the new development at Wayside and is scheduled to be completed by August, when the park opens for the new season.

Mark continued: “First and foremost, I would like to take this opportunity to extend the warmest of thank yous to our loyal and patient caravan and lodge owners. We are consistently amazed and humbled by the positive comments we receive from our owners on site.

“We believe that the peace, beauty and serenity here are the ideal antidote to the stresses and strains of the pandemic and we are going to ensure that Wayside is the perfect place to relax this year – and to forget about the pressure of the lockdown.

“It also goes without saying that the interests of our owners are uppermost in our minds and we are ensuring that Wayside is incredibly safe and Covid-free.”
