Plans to construct an artificial lake and leisure complex on Green Belt land near Pickett's Lock have garnered mixed reactions. The project involves transforming part of Lee Valley Golf Course and Camping Park into a surfing destination with associated facilities, including a clubhouse and event spaces. While the developer emphasizes improved access and community engagement, critics have raised concerns about the environmental impact and increased traffic. A public consultation showed significant support but highlighted ecological preservation and parking challenges as key issues for local residents.
"The proposals will enable far greater community use of, and access to, large parts of the site, while also retaining the existing golf activities to the north of the application site."
"However, the plan has drawn criticism for being sited on an area of Green Belt described as a special location and green lung, raising ecological concerns."
