Crown Parks Ltd owner Cresswell Welch said the development will also create new jobs in the area.

Mr Welch said: “My investment in Arbroath will bring a local labour force sustainability for years to come.

“We are currently growing the team by advertising for more people to complete the developments by the end of summer and to keep them on to do the new developments through next year.”

Mr Welch started Crown Parks in 1993 and now runs 12 sites across the UK.

He said: “The Seaton Estate is our flagship site and we intend to make it one of the best places to live and holiday in the country.

“I have also taken into account climate change and the need for more trees to soak up carbon emissions.

“I have a major tree and woodland plantation as part of our plans. This includes a tree-lined walkway and entrance to the park.

“The holiday and residential properties we are developing in Arbroath will also have insulation to match any modern home.”

The Seaton Estate complex will also feature a children’s play area, bar and restaurant as well as a wellness centre.
