Wiltshire Wildlife Trust seeks permission for replacement visitor center at Oaksey reserve
What happened
King Charles opened a facility at the Trust's Oaksey reserve. Separately, an application has been submitted to Wiltshire Council for a replacement visitor building and toilets at the Trust's Lower Moor nature reserve. The previous timber-framed facility was removed in November 2024 because it became structurally unsafe.

Why it matters
The Trust plans to construct the new structure on existing concrete pad foundations to reduce the project's carbon footprint. The design is flood-resilient, raising the single-storey building half a metre above ground level. Wiltshire Council is responsible for managing the planning application for this replacement facility.
