Wyreside Hall plans for 20 lodges, spa and orangery approved
Councillors have approved a major redevelopment of the 150-acre Wyreside Hall estate in Dolphinholme, including new holiday accommodation and event facilities.
A Grade II listed Lancashire manor house and wedding venue is to undergo a major redevelopment after councillors gave plans the go-ahead.
Wyre Borough Council approved the planning application submitted by Wyreside Hall in Dolphinholme for extensive work across its 150-acre estate.
The scheme includes 20 luxury holiday lodges, pods and shepherds huts, together with the roads, car parks and gardens needed to serve them.
A new orangery will provide a dedicated space for events, while a spa and wellness centre will also be built on the estate.
Restoration work will be carried out on the 17th-century hall itself and a partially built extension will be demolished.
The development is intended to regenerate Wyreside Hall and protect the estate for years to come.
Wyreside Hall was built in the 17th century before being remodelled in 1790 by its then owner, John Fenton Crawthorne MP.
The manor house was converted into a hotel and wedding venue in 2012. It was sold for an undisclosed fee in late 2024.
The estate already includes the 11-bed manor house, five holiday cottages and a two-bedroom gatehouse.
It stands at the foot of the Bowland Fells and has views of the River Wyre, Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
