Holiday park operator Pure Leisure Group has struck a deal with the council allowing it to progress plans to build a golf course with 500 lodges, a 102-bedroom hotel and other facilities on a 67-acre plot near Poulton-le-Fylde.
Fylde Council’s planning committee this week approved an ‘in-principle’ development agreement with Pure Leisure, meaning a planning application can advance. The company submitted an application in April 2019 but it was never determined due to various improvements that needed to be made to the scheme.
Pure Leisure operates 16 holiday parks across the country, and wants to build a flagship golf resort at the site at Larbreck. The scheme, called Larbreck Golf and Leisure Village, would become a “major tourist destination”, according to the developer, creating 85 full-time equivalent jobs and adding up to £2.5m each year to the local economy.
