The appeal by Center Parcs to build a fifth holiday village at Warren Wood near Ampthill, Beds. has been allowed by the Secretary of State.

The UK's leading short-break holiday company, in its 21st year, will be investing £200m in the new village. Construction should commence in 2009 and it is expected to open in 2010.

The development will generate significant benefits to the area, among them:

An investment of £2m on the infrastructure around the new village including improvements to the A507
The creation of 1400 local, non-seasonal jobs
A significant injection in the local economy through the use of local and regional suppliers and contractors

The improvement and sustainability of local biodiversity, with significant benefits to local habitats, birds, mammals, flora and insect life.
