A theme park has revealed plans to build a new holiday village which would accommodate 700 guests.
Bosses at Paultons Park want to build 85-95 self-catering units, as it remains the only UK theme park attracting over 300,000 visitors each year with no on-site accommodation.
The resort will adopt a “Scandinavian-style”, bringing a restaurant and a small shop for convenience foods, while repurposing part of the existing car park for holiday village guests.
A reception to provide an arrival space for guests would also be erected alongside an entertainment room and a games room.
The proposed development will be located next to the existing theme park and car park on land bordering the existing Cobra and Edge rides.
Paultons Park has lodged an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening request – a precursor to a request for planning permission.
James Mancey, deputy managing director at Paultons Park, said: “We are in the very early stages of developing a vision for accommodation at Paultons Park.
“However, with lengthy processes to work through, including securing planning permission, this concept could potentially take several years to come to fruition.”
Mr Mancey continued: “We are committed to continually reinvesting into our attraction, providing a world-class experience for our guests, and planning for the long-term.
“In the immediacy, we already have extensive and very exciting expansion projects underway and the current works on site remain our priority.”
