Report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath.

The Committee received a report of the Superintendent of Hampstead Heath regarding the habitat restoration proposals for the Model Boating Pond and Tumulus Field. It was proposed that the edge profile of the pond be changed to deter dogs and unauthorised bathers from entering the water. It was noted that the Consultative Committee had been supportive of the recommendations.

In response to a query from a Member the Superintendent confirmed that access to the newly created island in the pond, and the impact to wildlife of pedestrian access, would be kept under review.

RESOLVED – That approval be given to the proposals for habitat restoration and changes to the edge profiling of the model boating pond.
