Two projects aiming to reduce flooding on the River Severn and deliver a range of environmental improvements were approved at a meeting of Shropshire Council’s Cabinet on Wednesday.

The plans are set to create an estimated 35 hectares of new wetland habitat and native woodlands, improve water quality, provide valuable homes for birds and amphibians, improve soil biodiversity and support farm businesses through water efficiency savings. It will involve the rewetting of 11 hectares of peatland, creating three hectares of new, native woodland, at least five water storage features and nine hectares of paludiculture - a wetland farming system.
