Plans were submitted in May 2021 for 24 two, three and four-bedroomed luxury holiday lodges, a reception building and new landscaping on a site north west of Beamish Hall, County Durham, in a move that developer Peter Conroy said would be a big boost for the region’s holiday industry.
He said at the time that the facility would contribute ‘significantly’ to the millions of pounds pumped annually into the local economy and support 25 jobs during construction, along with 10 jobs created onsite once operational, as well as sustaining a host of local businesses within the Beamish, Stanley and Durham region.
The planned lodges were said to be designed as part of a landscape and heritage-led development in keeping with the character of the area, and could be constructed using local materials to match the colour and design of existing structures within the area.
