case study
Woodland Holiday Park is a luxury holiday home complex set in 80 acres of beautiful rural surroundings near the north Norfolk coast. Facilities include an indoor swimming pool, alongside a well-equipped gym, steam room, spa pool and sauna.
As part of their commitment to preserving the local environment and reducing their impacts, the company has worked with environment charity Groundwork to measure their emissions and put in place a decarbonisation plan.
One of the key measures that was explored by Groundwork East was to install a cover for the indoor pools which will reduce heat loss and evaporation - lowering running costs, reducing condensation effects within the pool and pool buildings, and importantly significantly lowering carbon emissions.
Woodland Holiday Park received a carbon reduction grant from North Norfolk District Council to install a swimming pool cover at its Trimingham Leisure Club, anticipated to save around 50 tonnes of CO2e per year. The grant fund provided 50% of the purchase and installation costs for the new equipment.
Groundwork East is delivering the North Norfolk Net Zero Advice service and grant programme on behalf of North Norfolk District Council, accessing UK government funding through the Shared Prosperity Fund.

We are a family business with a passion for protecting our local environment and its wildlife. We also try to reduce our wider environmental impacts wherever we can, so we were really keen to look for new ways to cut our carbon emissions. The cover will also save on our heating costs - and guests have already noticed an improvement due to reduced condensation levels around the pool and changing areas.Joe Harrison,
