EXCITING plans to redevelop the former Pleasure Island leisure park in Cleethorpes have been unveiled.
The proposals include a 146-bed hotel and conference centre as well as 250 high quality holiday lodges.
Further plans for the 23.5-hectare site include two restaurants and two leisure units
If it goes ahead the £57-million project could create new jobs.
Other elements of the scheme include a non-food leisure/retail unit and a new Lidl store
The ambitious proposals also
include a petrol filling station with electric vehicle charging facilities and
a drive-thru coffee shop.
The development is being promoted by a consortium of developers including Lidl and YPG, a Liverpool-based leisure developer.
It has appointed national planning and development consultancy Lichfields to progress the plans.
Says Lichfields’ associate director James Cox: “The proposals provide a positive response to North East Lincolnshire Council's aspirations to deliver all-weather facilities in this resort area of Cleethorpes.
"In addition to enhancing the range of existing retail and leisure provisions accessible to local residents, it would also attract new visitor expenditure to Cleethorpes and generate new job opportunities.”
Shortly the intention is to launch a public consultation exercise prior to submitting a planning application within the next few months.
In the meantime, The public will have an opportunity to comment on the plans via the consultation website which can be found here: www.cleethorpesconsultation.com
The Pleasure Island theme park opened in May 1990 and closed in October 2016. Prior to that the site was home to a zoo.
