Green light for new wildlife pond to make a splash at popular Telford walking spot
Plans have been approved for a wildlife pond to be created close to a public area which is popular with walkers.
Telford & Wrekin Council has given the green light for the pond to be built which will facilitate education activities at The Severn Gorge Countryside Trust (SGCT) off Darby Road in Coalbrookdale.
A public footpath runs alongside the area. There is public access to the SGCT site through volunteer programs, courses and public engagement events.
The pond is proposed to be five meters by four meters in size and will include a dipping platform.
Plans state that the pond will be of a ‘natural design’, incorporating variable depths, with aquatic planting.
