HAVE YOUR SAY on the spillway improvements
The proposed removal of low points along approximately 480m of the Poynton Pool dam embankment and slightly raising the level of crest to increase the flood resilience of the reservoir. A kerb alongside an enhanced footpath will create the crest level and the works will also include the creation of two 40m wide clearings, to further increase flood resilience.
In conjunction with the main application for Poynton Pool, Cheshire East have a secondary application for tree planting to mitigate the loss of trees. Details of this application can be found here. Please make any comments for this application before Sunday 3rd December.
