A CONTROVERSIAL plan to build more angling platforms along the river Wye in Hereford has been slammed by the government’s wildlife watchdog as a threat to the river habitat.

Hereford and District Angling Club is seeking planning permission to construct 28 more wooden “pegs” on either side of the protected river upstream of the city’s main Greyfriars bridge.

But Natural England now says in a six-page submission that “further alteration to the banks of the river could prevent the restoration of both bankside and in-channel habitat”.
