Bid for new pool at Croyde holiday park

Ruda wants to create pool for “serious� swimmers alongside its Cascades fun pool complex.

RUDA Holiday Park has applied for planning permission to create a new swimming pool and fitness gym at its Croyde site.

Owner Parkdean Holidays is seeking permission from North Devon Council to extend its existing swimming pool building to add a new 20 metre pool.

The application describes it as “suited to more serious swimmers� and the development will include a viewing area for the pools as well as a new gym.

The site already has a “fun� Cascades Tropical Adventure Pool complex which includes a 230 foot slide.

The planning application is a revised and smaller version of a larger proposal that was approved in 2003, but permission has since expired.
