No doubt you are on this site because you love Croyde and the surrounding area, which is a stunning landscape in the North Devon Coast AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). However, the area is under threat from a plan by Parkdean, who run the Ruda Holiday Park, to expand in to the surrounding greenfield sites without requirements for the usual assessments. This could mean vast expansion with potentially disastrous consequences for the area, which is already at its capacity in the summer with holidaymakers. What’s more, the planned expansion is only going ahead due to a mistake in a planning application some years ago! The Croyde Area Residents Association (CARA) are challenging this erroneous decision, however they need funds to cover the legal costs just so this issue can be given a hearing and hopefully the decision corrected. You can read more about the campaign here, and also pledge funds to help keep Croyde beautiful.
