A TEIGNBRIDGE holiday park has submitted plans to add more than 50 holiday apartments at its site near Chudleigh, aiming to appeal to those seeking short and off-season breaks.

Submitted by Haulfryn Group, the application - reference 26/00908/MAJ - is seeking permission to replace the existing reception building, offices and sales display area at Finlake Holiday Park with 54 self-catering, one-bedroom holiday apartments.

The planning application has been drawn together following a pre-application planning enquiry consultation with Teignbrdge Council, which determined that the proposal for one-bedroom units was ‘acceptable’

Teignbridge Council are due to make a decision by October 26.

The area proposed for the new holiday apartments incorporates the existing reception and offices building area, an existing tarmacadam driveway that circumvents the reception building, existing car park and hard surfaced display area for holiday lodges.

Small single bedroom holiday apartments are proposed, to fulfil the demand for such holiday accommodation, the planning statement for 26/00908/MAJ says.

The statement says: ‘This type of accommodation is appealing to a wider customer base who are seeking short breaks and out of season breaks, rather than just for families during the normal school holiday periods.

The holiday apartments are located in three separate blocks of accommodation on the ground floor and first floor.

The statement continues: ‘The proposal will create a high-quality tourism development, widening the range and style of holiday accommodation available to visitors to Teignbridge, bringing economic benefits to the local area and the region’.

Owned and managed by Haulfryn Group Ltd, Finlake Resort is accessed off the A38 via the B3344.

Existing facilities include a water park, Sirona Spa with treatment rooms, new leisure pool, fitness suite, gymnasium and more.

A significant re-investment programme has been on-going at Finlake over the last nine years, with more than £25m having been spent on new facilities, upgrading existing facilities and providing high quality holiday accommodation for visitors.
