Boardwalk and Pond
We were contacted by Waverley Borough Council who wanted to turn a piece of unused
flood ground with low bio-diversity into a useable public space
- it was decided to create a pond to replicate an oxbow from the
River Wey that runs alongside.
The area is subject to reasonably
high levels of pedestrian traffic, both for school runs and work
runs. A boardwalk was constructed using re-cycled plastic posts,
as the site is subject to extreme winter flooding.
Turfs containing
existing flora and fauna were lifted during excavation of the pond
and re-laid at completion, no plant life was imported and the site
now has both increased bio-diversity and increased public usage
with no negative environmental impacts.
