Rudding Park in North Yorkshire has unveiled plans to build a new clubhouse as part of a wide range of investments in the facilities at the Harrogate-based resort.
Planning documents stated that the estate’s current clubhouse was originally built as a temporary facility but had now outgrown its useful life.
The new building will be spread over two floors and will feature swimming pools, a restaurants, a gym and changing rooms.
The plans also include the building of four new tennis courts, a creche and soft play area, and the reinstatement of a walled garden.
Simon Mackaness, owner of Rudding Park, told local councillors in his planning presentation that the scheme will secure the future of the business.
He said: “As owners, this application presents our family’s commitment to securing the long-term future of the site and presents a unique opportunity to build on our past successes and provide high-quality facilities. The vision is to create the UK’s best independent luxury resort and, to do this, the resort requires a new clubhouse, redeveloped family facilities and additional sports amenities.”
