[QUOTE="roscoe erf, post: 1305182, member: 965"] found this Planning permission Under the Town and Country Planning Acts a “change of use” of land requires planning permission. When looking at creating or possibly extending ponds then you are proposing to change land into water. Therefore you must consult with your local planning authority to see whether your plans require planning permission. Very often for small, simple pond creation, planning permission is not required. However if this is the response you receive, be sue to get confirmation in writing, so you can prove your position if questioned in the future. [IMG]http://thefarmingforum.co.uk/file:///page3image17560[/IMG] 3 [IMG]http://thefarmingforum.co.uk/file:///page4image1008[/IMG] For some proposed pond creations planning permission will be required, so it is always best to check. This is better than being in the position where the local planning authority detects the creation and requires you to fill in the pond or seek retrospective planning permission, which has no guarantee of success. Consent for interaction with waterways The governments of each home country have a body that regulates water usage. If your pond creation or extension takes water directly from or puts water directly into a watercourse, you need to discuss whether consent is needed. If you are creating a pond which does not interact with a watercourse you need not consult. Examples that require consent: [LIST] [*]Diverting a stream to fill a pond [*]Draining water into a watercourse from the pond, including an overflow pipe [*]Widening a stream to create a pool [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
