Whilst it
may seem like the park is sleeping during the winter months, we have in fact
been very busy bees.
Since we
closed on 1st November, our team has been working tirelessly starting
a development that will create 20 plots in a stunning new phase for the park.
The
development will include 18 new beautiful holiday homes and 2 luxury lodges.
Over the
next few months I will be following the progress, to see how our talented team
turn a grass field in to a stunning holiday destination.
One month in
and Heronsfield already looks like a very different place. The process has
begun with the two luxury Harrogate Lodges already being sited. Alongside them
will be 18 new plots, that once complete will be home to a choice of either an
ABI Ambleside, Beaumont or Westwood holiday home.
The first
step of the process has been to create the bases for the plots. Currently 8 of
the 18 bases have already been dug out, getting them ready for the concrete.
Having dug
out the area of each plot, the team are preparing to place concrete edging which
will be used to form the frame of the plots. Once this is completed they will
be ready to be filled with concrete, forming a solid base for each plot.
Each plot
will have its very own fishing platform, perfect for keen anglers to make the
most of the amazing lake, and if you don’t enjoy fishing it is a great place to
relax and unwind.
All 20 plots
will have a lakeside view with a stunning view over Kingfisher Bay.
Providing
the weather is kind to us the first 8 bases should be concreted by Christmas.
We decided
to take down the self-seeding trees that were in the area, as they have the
potential to cause problems to holiday home owners in the future. However, we
have taken a delivery of new trees that will be planted and strategically
positioned on the development.
A large part
of the process so far has been to secure the groundworks for the water wastage
system on the development.
Our team has
excavated the ground, placing concrete rings that will hold the large water
tank. This will ensure the tank does not get damaged by the environment and
stands the test of time.
We are in
the process of realigning the road that sits next to the new development.
Currently
the team are putting down the hardcore on the ground to make a base for the new
road. The reason for this is to provide a more effective road placement for new
and existing residents, as well as making room for large luxury plots and
creating space for owners to enjoy their holiday homes.
The lake has
been dredged to increase the depth of the lake, this will increase benefits of
fishing and will increase the amount of fish we can stock in the lake.
The
development has been renamed as Kingfisher Bay and is due for completion by the end of March 2019.
Keep an eye
out for my next blog for further progress of the
development.
