AMBITIOUS holiday park plans for 70 lodges have been unanimously turned down by Maldon District Council. The planning committee met to discuss the plans which had caused uproar with residents in and around Woodham Walter. The Warren Estate plans included a 50-lodge holiday park, called Warren Lodges North, a secluded, luxury 20-lodge Wayside Retreat park, and alterations to the existing Bunsey clubhouse. Applicant John Moran said: “Three years ago, the Warren Estate started to work to develop a unique holiday venue for the Maldon area, an activity-focused, short-break destination of the highest quality. “Based broadly on the Centre Parcs model, it has been designed to encourage adults and children from all over the UK to visit.
