Rudding Park refurbishment plan 'could generate £14m', say owners
A plan to renovate a golf and country club at Rudding Park estate could generate an economic benefit of £14 million a year to Harrogate, its owners have said.
The hotel and spa has formally submitted plans to North Yorkshire Council for the project.
It includes proposals to replace the current golf club, upgrade the family hub and create outdoor tennis courts and a pavilion.
It would also see the county’s first five-star country club created and restore the estate’s walled garden.
In documents submitted to the council, estate agents Carter Jonas, which is representing the hotel, said the move would contribute an additional economic impact of £14.3 million a year through employment, suppliers and tourism spend.
