A company which hires canoes and runs trips on the river Wye is being investigated over a new concrete strip on a field by the river that appears to have been built without planning permission.
A Herefordshire Council planning enforcement officer is believed to have visited Wyedean Canoe Centre of Symonds Yat yesterday (February 22) in connection with the work.
A council spokesperson confirmed: “The site is currently under investigation but no notices have been served.”
The work, which is visible from nearby roads, appears to have involved bringing in soil to cover the sub-base around the concrete strip.
Symonds Yat lies within the Wye Valley area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) where more stringent planning restrictions apply.
The canoe centre declined to comment.
