As part of the development, 35 luxury lodges and a reception office would be built as well as car parking.
The lodges would come with raised decking, hot tubs for year round use and would also be available to buy for those seeking a holiday home.
Site layout for the holiday site in Ruskington proposed by Park Evolution Ltd.
The developer said the park would provide “first class accommodation for those wishing to fish in the existing lakes”.
But council officers raised concern about transport and safe access to the site and refused the plan.

However, it said: “These would be outweighed by the significant concerns relating to the failure to maximise sustainable modes of transport and provide safe and suitable access for all.”

Tenants living in a large block of council flats on Lincoln’s Ermine Estate have criticised the building’s “run down” condition, highlighting several issues.
Trent View residents, contending with problems such as excessive bird excrement and poor insulation, have also criticised City of Lincoln Council for its delayed handling of ongoing issues like leaks.
As people prepare to go out more in the run up to Christmas, a Lincoln woman who created the globally renowned Ask For Angela not-for-profit scheme is proud to have made the county, and the world, a safer place.
The scheme, launched by Hayley Crawford (pictured above) in 2016, aims to ensure that anyone who is feeling vulnerable or unsafe is able to get the support they need. This could be on a night out, a date, meeting friends and other situations, and it is available to everyone of all genders to help them feel safer.
