Holiday village could be created on edge of tourism hub town

The venture, at Pickering Showground, will see 133 holiday lodges built, together with a restaurant, manager’s lodge, site shops, a lake, a park-and-ride facility and also 15 “glamping” pods for campers at the prime site on the A169 between Malton and Pickering.

Julian Rudd, head of economy at Ryedale District Council, where the planning committee is being recommended by council officers to approve the scheme, said: “It will be an enormous economic benefit to Pickering and Ryedale as a whole, with £25m of investment on the site and a further £8m a year being injected into the local economy by users of the complex.
