Waterways – The River Avon and the River Dene converge in the grounds of Charlecote Park. At present the waterway that falls within the park is not navigable. The National Trust are concerned that draft policy direction 28 seeks to increase access and use of canals and waterways. We would consider that the extent of the waterways within Charlecote Park would not be appropriate to be unlocked to introduce navigation, due to the historic nature of the waterway at this location and the sensitive natural environment of the deer park and heronry.
Whilst the National Trust appreciate the vision in respect of this policy, we feel that this should be assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the unique environmental factors of the specific waterway.
