This significant expansion has received approval from the local council and will add an additional 33 acres to the resort.

Each of the new cabins will have its own private terrace and parking space.

A central building for servicing will also be constructed on the site.

It is expected that there will be dining areas, entertainment zones, and a swimming pool.

When completed, the resort will be able to accommodate an additional 150,000 visitors per year.

“This will allow the creation of a new high-quality development of cabins, including central facilities, as well as pedestrian and bike pathways connecting to the existing Butlin's resort in Skegness,” the planning statement said.

Hannah Whitney from the planning company Litchfields noted that 'Butlin's in Skegness has been an important part of East Lincolnshire for more than 90 years.'

“This application for permission will be accompanied by a plan for comprehensive landscape and ecological improvements,” she added.

Additionally, the construction of bike paths and pedestrian walkways, as well as access roads, is planned as part of the permission requests.

The opening dates and images have not yet been announced.
