Significant events
- “Permission was given by the Board to start phase one of our plans for a good quality onsite residential centre. We want to double the number of bedrooms from 5 to 10 to secure regular accommodation income. Planning permission was given in November 2025 and the actual building work started 8 December 2025. Loxdale has taken out a bank loan to pay for the building work. This was approved in November 2025.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
