I visited this spot a few months ago. The fishing lakes are not yet shown on any of my maps. A browse on the internet turns up a planning application which must have now been granted - change of use from crop irrigation lake to coarse fishing amenity with lodge and toilet. The lake is now stocked and a couple of fishermen were out in the freezing conditions after carp, roach, bream and tench. Car park, lodge and toilets still a work in progress although a portaloo is available. Swans were keeping one end of the lake ice-free today.
