Deal signed for holiday village
A developer has signed a multi-million pound deal to build the UK’s newest Center Parcs resort near Woburn.
ISG has agreed a £61million contract to build the accommodation element of the holiday village in Warren Wood, Millbrook.
The venue, to be known as Woburn Forest, will be the operator’s fifth UK village, with 625 lodges across a 365-acre site. It will open in spring 2014.
The work is set to take 59 weeks, with a series of two, three and four-bed lodges being built.
Almost 3,000 jobs are to be created by the opening of Center Parcs, including 1,200 for the construction phase. Center Parcs has previously said that the new jobs will be mostly sourced locally.
As well as the holiday lodges the site will feature a 75-bed hotel and 12 associated spa suites, plus two main centres including sports facilities, restaurants and retail outlets.
