Ready-for-permission rural holiday park close to A1 and regional visitor attractions.
Approximately 5 acres with planning for 31 static holiday lodges
This former paddock extends to approximately 5 acres with planning permission granted for 31 static holiday lodges (Bassetlaw DC, 14 Sep 2023, application 23/00405/COU). The site is tucked within established trees and hedges, includes a pond in adjacent woodland, and sits 2.5 miles from the A1 for direct regional access — attractive for a rural holiday-lodge operator seeking quick connectivity to Retford, Sherwood Forest and nearby visitor attractions.
The permission allows 12‑month holiday use but includes a material operational limitation: Condition 20 restricts any occupier to a maximum 28‑day stay within any three‑month period. Mains water, sewerage and electricity are understood to be close by, but purchasers should verify connection availability and costs before contracting. An additional 4.34 acres of ornamental gardens, a former tennis court and a disused pool are offered separately and could provide scope for more units, subject to planning.
Practical considerations are clear: the site is in a rural, ageing neighbourhood with higher local crime and area deprivation indicators — factors that will affect insurance, security measures and lettings strategy. The vendor will also consider selling the adjacent house and stables (with consented plans for eight holiday cottages) by separate negotiation, presenting optional expansion or phased development opportunities.
For an investor or operator experienced in holiday parks, this parcel offers an established planning base, generous plot size and strong leisure catchment. Budget for service connections, site preparation and enhanced security/management to mitigate local risks, and allow time for any further consents if expanding beyond the current permission.
