Center Parcs plans sixth UK holiday village

Saturday, 13 Jul, 2021 0

Center Parcs plans to introduce a sixth UK holiday village.

The company has secured an option agreement to acquire privately owned woodland at Oldhouse Warren off Balcombe Road, Worth in West Sussex.

The 553-acres of woodland has been identified as a suitable site due to its location to the south of London and its excellent transport links.

Center Parcs will now undertake site surveys and will in due cause submit a planning application to the local authority.

In line with the other Center Parcs villages, it is intended that the site at Oldhouse Warren will include lodges, a range of indoor and outdoor leisure facilities, a Subtropical Swimming Paradise, a variety of restaurants and shops and an Aqua Sana Spa.

The development is expected to cost up to £400m and create approximately 1,500 permanent local jobs once operational and a further 1,000 jobs during construction.

"It is really exciting to have identified a potential site for another Center Parcs village in the UK. The proposal we will be submitting will create a significant number of jobs and bring major benefits to the local and national economy," said Center Parcs’ CEO, Martin Dalby.

"The announcement marks the first step of a long journey and there is still a huge amount of work to be done before we can submit a planning application. As a business, we take our responsibility to the local community extremely seriously."
