Detailed Description

Full planning permission has been granted to provide high quality holiday accommodation in the form of 53 Mobile Holiday Homes and 48 Holiday Lodges which benefit from a 12 month consent together with a reception/managers unit. This planning was made live and confirmed by North Kesteven District Council.
Certain areas around the perimeter of the lake have received stone and gravel from the lake in order to provide all weather surfaced tracks whilst a 63 mm mains water supply is available on site and a 500 KVa 3 phase electrical supply is in place.

A1 near Newark on Trent to the City of Lincoln and then on to the East Coast.
