West Northamptonshire Council has received a multi-phase planning application for the extensive redevelopment of Billing Aquadrome in Northampton. The proposals outline a reduction in static caravans from 3,104 to 2,245 units and include demolition, new construction, and infrastructure upgrades across the site.
Phase One covers the demolition of several single-storey buildings, a toilet block, and existing plant equipment, alongside internal and external alterations to guest and maintenance facilities. The plan also includes the construction of new residential, holiday sales, and reception buildings, stationing 110 static caravans for permanent use, and upgrades to roads, footpaths, parking, drainage, flood mitigation, and landscaping.
The remainder of the site is proposed for 886 static residential caravans, 1,223 holiday units, 26 floating lodges, and areas for touring caravans and tents. Outline plans cover additional reconfigurations, including raised pontoon access for boats, new lake infrastructure, and refurbishment of family entertainment facilities with restaurant and outdoor seating. Extensions to the swimming pool are also included.
The proposals represent a major investment in site reconfiguration, residential and holiday accommodation expansion, and improved leisure and infrastructure facilities.
