Planning - Pond In Field ?
Hi
Another planing question.... Does anyone have any idea if I would be permitted to dig a small wildlife pond, ~ 0 x 5 metres, in a field classified as agricultural land ? The remainder of the field is to be planted as an orchard (already approved by the LPA as part of a larger application). The pond would be a wildlife pond, ie. not ornamental - no fish, no fountains, no surrounding paving stones, and definitley no dwarf statues ! It would be surrounded by natural growth and be akin to wild ponds marked on the OS map of surrounding agricultural land. I am hoping it would provide a refuge for indigenous wildlife and be more imaginative use of otherwise very bland land. I've tried asking my LPA, but all I get is "due to unprecendented workload we are unable to answer your enquiry at the moment", in essence meaning that I'll have to make an application to find out. Am quite happy to pay the £295 application fee if this woudl have a chance of success, but want to avoid doing so if its a non-starter. Many thanks for any advice. |

Nope , that has *some* width and depth as well as length. A one dimensional pond would be an infinitely thin line of water molecules -- Alex Piece by piece the penguins have taken my sanity www.drzoidberg.co.uk www.ebayfaq.co.uk |

No. It would be called "a picture of a pond" and would not be wildlife-friendly until rolled into a tube, or composted. -- Brian |

Does anyone have any idea if I would be permitted to dig a small wildlife pond, ~ 0 x 5 metres, in a field classified as agricultural land ? The remainder of the field is to be planted as an orchard (already approved by the LPA as part of a larger application). Disappointingly, I don't have the answer, but I like the idea of making it a firefighting water reserve. A friend of mine dug a pond of similar (10x5) size in his garden with a mini-digger, he never applied for permission. And he was a solicitor. |

My daughter and son-in-law have also dug a huge pond in their garden. 'Mainly' ornamental, but it does have an island for the birds/Moorhens/Ducks etc to nest. No, planning permission was not sought.
