Plans lodged to expand Craig Tara Holiday Park

The fairways on the western side of the Haven Holiday Park have been earmarked for the development, which will see 150 new caravan pitches along with open space, access, landscaping and other associated works.

If approved, the redevelopment would cost up to £10 million and will create up to 100 jobs once fully operational.

The pre-planning application reads: “The proposal comprises the redevelopment of the golf facility at the western side of Craig Tara Holiday Park for up to 150 new caravan pitches along with open space, access, landscaping and other associated works.

“Road access to the site will be provided at two points along the eastern boundary, providing links into the existing developed areas of the holiday park. No new road access is proposed onto Dunure Road.

“The tree cover along the boundaries of the site will be retained, with the majority of the woodland areas within the site also retained.

“A new footbridge is proposed to connect the northern and central areas of the site, across the Carwinshoch Burn. The existing footbridge across the burn from the holiday park to the site will also be upgraded.”

The additional caravans could be ready by summer 2024.
