Ask your QuestionWhat can be done to protect a pond that is on a site where development may occur? Can an application be made to prevent such works going ahead? How does this work in a legal sense?
Asked by Robert on 9th Mar 2022"Mesh/grill covers must be able to support a child’s weight without dropping below the surface of the pond water. You can test this by placing a full hand luggage suitcase on the surface and observing whether the cover supports the weight or drips closer to the water."
