Paultons Park near Ower has launched a public consultation on plans for 129 Scandinavian-style lodges, cabins and suites.

Paultons Park near Ower has launched a consultation on plans to build a holiday village on its New Forest land. The scheme includes 129 Scandinavian-style lodges, cabins and suites, with designs displayed at the park on Monday.

Local residents who attended the consultation expressed support for the proposals. Jim Fowler, who attended with his son, said: 'It is a massive site, so we wanted to see if it would impact us. And it looks like there is nothing to worry about. There is an existing issue with traffic, but it needs to be balanced with the rural economy.'

Paul Donaldson, who lives near the theme park, also backed the plans, saying: 'The design is very good and strong. I think it is very thoughtful. The attention to detail is very positive.' Mr Donaldson noted that the design team had considered potential impacts on traffic, noise and light, and said the development is not expected to be fully built until at least 2030.
