Hi Chris,
We had the pool dug out M8, it was based roughly on Meadow Pool at Heronbrook.
We don't have a shelf on either bank as it slopes at a 45 degree angle with a track , this is so the plants don't grow into the water but you can still fish across.
We have been quite fortunate in that we were able to get the water pretty much as we wanted it.We have made a few mistakes with it and we are looking at trying to change a few things, but considering none of us had ever done anything like this before we have got it pretty well sorted.
I think that if you get the right people to steer the thing and a decent guy who owns the land you can get just the same as we have got in a very short space of time.
We have also been working in close contact with the EA and they have been helpful on quite a few occasions.
If want any info let me know.
Mark
