A company, called Meonmarsh Ltd is in the advanced stages of developing a scheme to restore wetland on land that they own in Titchfield.
The site is located to the south east of Titchfield village with Bridge Street to the north and the B3334 (Titchfield Road) to the east.
The River Meon forms the western and part of the southern boundary of the site.
The site is currently comprised entirely of poor quality ‘grazing marsh’.
The proposal includes the retention and enhancement of the richest part of this habitat type, plus the addition of a range of new habitat types to include open water areas, channels, reed beds and, most importantly, a huge increase in ‘wet edge’, the richest habitat type that offers opportunities for a myriad of flora and fauna.
Meonmarsh will be submitting a planning application for the scheme to the local authority before the end of June, 2020.
For comments to be taken into consideration, they must be received before the 19th of June, 2020.
