PROPERTY The Linton project is to develop a luxury hotel and resort within the Yorkshire Dales National Park on a site of 18.56 acres.
The proposed development offers planning permission for the redevelopment of Linton Camp to form a tourist facility comprising 24 self-contained serviced holiday units with a spa, gym, 24-seat cinema, 2-lane bowling alley, bar and restaurant, all within the central hotel.
There is further planning for 9 self-contained holiday lodges (six 2-beds and three 3-beds) plus an internal 76-space car park within the hotel complex.
The hotel will be positioned to attract the UK leisure market for short-breaks, focused on fine dining, outdoor pursuits and relaxation all year round, predominantly for the adult market, providing high levels of personal service to guests.
Previous planning permission was granted by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority in 2020 (ref: C/50/46L) for the limited green scheme on the site of the derelict Linton School which was used in World War II as a camp for evacuees.
The serviced holiday units and leisure complex will form the largest scale leisure development that the Yorkshire Dales has seen over the last couple of years. The Linton project will provide self-catering accommodation, a spa and gym and has won a prestigious design award (Future building or project award in the Scottish Design Awards) due to its innovative green scheme which will provide a high quality development.
PLANNING Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority granted permission for the demolition of existing buildings and redevelopment of the site for tourist accommodation (amendment to previously consented application C/50/46L) in October 2024. Planning reference: C/50/46M.

Establish funds
How will you fund the purchase?
Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.
Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.
They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.
However advantages of working with your bank are:
You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
