Plans for new holiday pods at a golf course near York have been approved by East Riding Council.
Developers have been granted planning permission for the sitting of 28 holiday lodges at Kilnwick Percy Resort & Golf Club, near Pocklington.
Plans were first submitted to the council in spring 2023, originally for 30 lodges, with the number having reduced by two since. The plans seek to establish a cul-de-sac of lodges to the north east of the site.
In addition to its 18 hole golf course, clubhouse, gym and spa facilities, the Kilnwick Percy Resort & Golf Club already has a number of holiday lodges. The site, which is owned in its entirety by Darwin AIM Ltd.
Plans explain that the lodges will be available in either one, two, three, and five bed options. All lodges will be timber cladded, single storey units with shallow pitched roofs.

The application also includes extensions and improvements to a number of facilities at the wider site. For example the increased number of lodges will require greater housekeeping facilities.
It is also said: “Staff facilities such as workshops, offices and toilets are currently located in temporary structures which are not fit for purpose. The applicant therefore seeks the opportunity to replace these, with a new purpose built building.”
Guests visiting the proposed lodges will use the existing main access point of the wider site at the golf club. A one way system with registration plate recognition for entry/exit barriers will also be in place.
Plans claim that the scheme will help secure the future of the woodland and enhance the biodiversity levels of the site. This is said as the proposals include the clearing and replanting of woodland that is suffering from ash dieback.
