Minutes:

The Leisure Manager introduced his report setting out details of a proposal for Natural England to fund and create a new pond of approximately 200 square metres on the Forstal Field.  It was noted that the new pond would improve the habitat and biodiversity of the Cobtree Manor Park.  It would also be used as a receptor site for Great Crested Newts displaced by development in the Borough and surrounding areas and this would provide additional income for the Charity.

 

RESOLVED:

 

1.  That agreement be given to the creation of a new pond on Forstal Field.

 

2.  That delegated authority be given to the Head of Regeneration and Economic Development in consultation with the Chairman of the Committee to confirm the precise location of the pond when scale maps are available.
