Anyone heard that Merley is applying for permission to turn the park into a Static Site with 82 lodges, one of our favourite sites, will be gutted if they do.

" A 160-pitch touring caravan and camping site could be turned into a static caravan park under plans submitted to Borough of Poole.

The proposal for Merley Court Touring Park includes demolishing existing buildings and replacing all 160 pitches with 83 two and three bedroom timber holiday lodges.

The Merley House Lane site, which falls in greenbelt land, has been in use as a touring holiday park since the early 1980s and includes a shop, entertainment lounge and bar and laundry and washing facilities, park warden housing, tennis courts, a children’s play area and outdoor swimming pool.

Owners Shorefield Holidays Ltd have submitted plans for up to 83 lodges measuring around six by 12m, with raised decking and reinforced grass parking bays.

A dozen similar such lodges have recently being constructed in the woodlands to the east of the site"

It is indeed a shame, however I guess this is a decision based on income. With tourers you are weather dependant and can never be sure your site will be full, where as with Statics you get your years rent upfront come what may. Sad but a lot of sites looking at their bottom line now !!
