The popularity of ice cream at Clumber Park has tempted bosses to create a bigger and better parlour in time for the summer rush of visitors.

A proposal to relocate the current ice cream parlour is among the latest batch of planning applications received by Bassetlaw District Council.

Clumber Park wants to move it from the stable courtyard, which is grade II listed, to a nearby building, currently used as a meeting room and for storage and previously used as offices.

It is a large room with space for seating and a counter, and the park hopes it can serve as an ice cream parlour all year round.

Youngsters could soon be tucking into ice cream from a new parlour at Clumber Park.

The National Trust, which runs the park, says it has noticed “significant growth in ice cream sales”, including during the autumn and winter.

The scheme is all part of a wider plan to improve the park’s food and drink option, and expand its kitchen.

Among other planning applications submitted to the council is one for the installation of new underground fuel tanks at Shell Service Station on the A1 (northbound) at East Markham.

They would replace existing tanks, which would be decommissioned and either filled with foam or removed.

The approach to Clumber Park, where thousands of visitors are expected to flock this summer.
