Haven seeks permission to open Primrose Valley earlier
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 06:08 · Archive
Holiday company Haven has applied to open Primrose Valley Holiday Park near Filey from 1 February, extending its season by 29 days to capture February half-term bookings.
Holiday giant Haven has applied to North Yorkshire Council for permission to open Primrose Valley Holiday Park near Filey from 1 February each year, rather than its current March 1 start date. The park currently closes in early January for owners of static caravans. If approved, the change would extend the season by almost a month, adding 29 extra operating days annually and allowing guests to arrive for the February half-term break.
Haven says the move would help boost tourism and support local jobs in the Scarborough area during what is traditionally one of the quietest times of the year. The company argues that approval would help it contribute to the growing domestic market, capture changing tourism demands, and reinforce its role in the local economy. The park is described in the application as an important part of the local visitor economy.
No new buildings are required under the proposal, and there would be no increase in the number of caravans on the site.
