EuroMillions Winner Scraps Theme Park Plans

Adrian Bayford, after winning the EuroMillions jackpot, purchased the Horseheath Lodge estate. His plans for a theme park, which included a train ride, play barn, maze, and car park, were intended to boost the local economy. However, the project faced significant opposition. Critics argued that the development was too urban for the rural area, with concerns about increased traffic and potential harm to the environment. The parish council and Urban Design consultation highlighted the project's lack of integration with the rural character of the site. Concerns about light pollution and noise were also factors. This opposition ultimately led to Bayford withdrawing the plans.
