Plans for wetland nature reserve submitted
GooglePlans have been submitted to turn an area of flood-prone grassland into a wetland nature reserve.
Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust has applied to East Lindsey District Council (ELDC) for the change of use of land off Jubilee Way, Horncastle, with the plans including landscaping and a viewing platform.
The applicant said the proposal aimed to create a "natural environmental amenity" and "visual access area" for residents.
The trust said the site was previously used to graze cattle.
It said "shallow scrapes" would be created, with spoil used to flatten an area for a viewing platform.
In addition, bunds would be built to boost wildlife.
"The site will be planted with native wetland species from Lincolnshire and is designed to require minimal maintenance," said the trust.
ELDC will consider the proposal and make a decision at a later date, states the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
