Bosses at Peak Village in Rowsley have revealed an ambitious scheme to build a holiday village next to the shopping outlet.

They hope the development will create local jobs and bring thousands of new tourists to the area every year.

If all goes to plan work would start next year and be completed by the end of 2009.

The scheme would see ten or 12 log cabins, 45 berths for caravans or motor homes, a convenience store and a children's play area.

Terrence Morgan, who recently took over managing Peak Village with Martin Langsdale, said: "We have only just unveiled the plans for the proposed holiday village at Peak Village to the existing retailers.

"The plans have so far received an extremely positive response because retailers and their employees recognise that the development will have a very positive impact on visitor numbers and will contribute greatly to local tourism and the local economy in general.

"The growth and development of tourism in this part of Derbyshire is crucial to the future success and prosperity of local communities, and we feel Peak Village has an important role to play in that success.

"We feel that there is also space within the development of the Peak Village site to provide the residents of Rowsley with much needed community facilities. That is why we have included a community space within the plans".
