Riverbanks at River Pang at Tidmarsh and Englefield Tidmarsh Reading
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Approval of details reserved by Condition (5) Borrow Pits of planning permission 25/00843/FULMAJ: The proposed project focuses on restoring a riparian section of the River Pang and creating wetland within the low-lying, redundant water meadows of the Englefield Estate. These works aim to enhance nutrient and sediment capture, support climate mitigation, improve natural flood management, increase biodiversity, and elevate water quality. The works will include in-channel habitat enhancements, such as installing woody debris berms and gravel, as well as natural floodplain restoration through river channel realignment, riverbank lowering, and floodplain reconnection. To ensure long-term maintenance, the project also incorporates improved access via a new bridge and designated river fording locations.
