Plans to restore saltmarsh and wetland habitats on the Awre Peninsula have been submitted to the Forest of Dean District Council.

The major planning application, reference P1231/26/FUL, proposes the restoration of saltmarsh and other wetland habitats through a managed realignment of the coastline at land at Guy Hall Farm Area 1, Northington Lane, Awre.

The scheme includes engineering works to breach existing flood defences and construct a new flood defence embankment. It also proposes the creation of ponds, scrapes and creeks as part of the habitat restoration project.

The application seeks changes to the public rights of way network, including the diversion of some routes, the closure of others and the creation of new paths.

Planning documents can be viewed at the council offices in Coleford, during normal office hours or online via the District Council website using the application reference number.
