You may well be aware from the last post that Croyde has been under threat from excessive development by Parkdean, the company that run the Ruda holiday park, by a massive expansion in to the surrounding greenfield areas, made possible by an administrative error in a planning application made some years ago. The Croyde Area Residents Association (CARA) successfully challenging this erroneous decision thanks to generous support from local residents and Croyde lovers up and down the country, managing to secure enough donations to cover the considerable legal costs of the challenge. A judgment given at the High Court by Mrs Justice Lieven on 19 March 2021 quashed the harmful planning decision which unlawfully and mistakenly granted permission to expand the Holiday Park into green fields in the AONB. However, the latest update is that CARA must once again prepare to take on Parkdean who have been granted leave to appeal the judgment of the High Court.
