RST6 Fishing Lakes

In determining planning applications for fishing lakes and associated developments the Council will have regard to the impact of the proposed development upon:

  • the character and appearance of the surrounding area;
  • traffic flows on access roads and their capacity for accommodating any increase;
  • amenities of nearby residents; and
  • the potential impact upon any ground or surface water abstraction point.

In approving any such applications, the Council will seek to ensure that

  • car parking provision is adequate to cater for the amount of traffic generated; and
  • an appropriate scheme of landscaping is carried out.
