Ambitious plans have been unveiled for a £35m new leisure destination in Lancashire on the Fylde Coast.
Pure Leisure Group is looking to create its 15th UK park on a site at Larbreck in Fylde, creating at least 85 jobs plus other season roles.
The proposed park would be home to 495 luxury holiday lodges, a 102-bed hotel, a leisure complex including a pool, spa, restaurant, bar, shop, gym and indoor golf facilities, an executive nine-hole golf course, bio-diversity habitats and 2km walking trail.
Group owner John Morphet said: “We have worked hard to design a development of the highest quality, with a range of facilities for our customers and for the local community to enjoy.
“We have a strong ethos of striving to bring improvements to the locations of our parks, of protecting the natural environment and becoming a truly beneficial part of the community.
“Each of our parks supports local employment and contributes towards attracting people into the area; the economic benefits of which are clear.
“We are also committed to protecting the beautiful natural environments in which are parks are located, and have included a biodiversity area within the proposals along the River Wyre.”
Tim Farron, MP for Westmorland in Lonsdale, where Pure Leisure Group is based, has provided a letter of support for the application, outlining the benefits the parks have had in his constituency in attracting visitors, providing jobs and boosting the economy.
In it he states: “I am happy to endorse both John and Pure Leisure as a potential asset to Fylde communities. I believe that he will bring real benefits to the Fylde in the same way as he has brought benefits to South Lakeland.”
