Center Parcs sets sights on fifth
Short-break holiday village operator Center Parcs said today it was looking to open its fifth site in the UK.
It has applied for planning permission to develop a site at Warren Wood, near Woburn in Bedfordshire.
The £160m development will include a number of restaurants and accommodation and, assuming permission is granted, be complete in three to four years' time, Center Parcs added.
The company already operates four other "villages", at Elveden Forest in Suffolk, Longleat Forest in Wiltshire, Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire and Oasis Whinfell Forest in Cumbria.
