From the Friends of Alexandra Park newsletter we hear that the planning application for a Go Ape High Ropes Course in Alexandra Park has been approved. It is to be sited along the edges of the "upper football field" between what was the western deer enclosure and the boating lake. The approval was subject to Go Ape commissioning an Ecological Impact Assessment phase 2 survey for invertebrates, which has been completed, and a mitigation strategy. This has to include habitats for breeding birds and an educational resource such as interpretation panels and a schools pack highlighting the value of the trees as a habitat.
The plan has been revised so that the visual impact will be much reduced with the scrapping of the proposed tower. There will be two courses, one for juniors and one for adults. You can find more background about the project via the Friends of Alexandra Park website here.
