North Yorkshire Council has given the green light for a new jump tower and climbing wall to be built at Haven Leisure's Blue Dolphin Holiday Park in Filey.
A NEW jump tower and climbing wall will be constructed at a North Yorkshire holiday park following the approval of plans by the council.
Haven Leisure’s proposal to build a jump tower where people can jump from a platform with a soft landing and climbing wall at its Blue Dolphin Holiday park in Filey has been given the go-ahead by North Yorkshire Council (NYC).
The scheme will involve associated ground works and will be located to the south of an existing facilities building and to the west of an existing owners’ lounge.
No objections were made by members of the public or Gristhorpe Parish Council.
Officers considered whether the proposal would have a negative visual impact on the area but concluded that it was “unlikely to be readily distinguishable or be unduly prominent in long views of the holiday park”.
Haven Leisure said that the jump tower and climbing wall will not be floodlit and will only be operational during daylight hours.
According to submitted proposals:
The site currently houses a climbing wall set over bark chipping with a fence and grassland. This activity area is used regularly by guests only during the opening times of the park.
NYC noted that the development is located in the developed part of the holiday park and that the jump tower “would be visible from the road but would be viewed against the backdrop of the existing metal-clad buildings”.
Officers added:
The proposal is slightly taller than the adjacent building but is not considered to result in harm.
The proposed development would be viewed within the context of the holiday park and is not considered to result in undue harm to the immediate context or setting when travelling along The Marr or Bowes Lane.
The application was approved by North Yorkshire Council, subject to conditions.
