Parish Council - Clerk's note

Wellness Resort.

It is a very large Centre Parc like development on the Ashwicken Lake site amounting to something like accommodation for some 700 visitors at a time. We will work with the Ashwicken PC and I have asked East Winch PC for their views, as it effects East Winch because the planned entrance is on the Ashwicken Road.
