Latest update: May 2010 - See News
Welcome to the official Website
for The Severn Lake™ project - the development of an Energy
Causeway which creates a 145,000 hecatre lake in the Bristol Channel
This site features the very latest news on this exciting project,
plus background details about the plans. The proposed application
is to build a causeway from Lavernock Point on the Welsh shoreline
to Brean Down on the English side.
The target we have set ourselves
to complete this project is 2020.
To create a concrete causeway to contain:
- 198 hydro-electric turbines, two directional one way capturing
the tide on ebb and flow at approximately 70% of the day
- Two wave farms on the western side of the causeway
- Central concrete-encased, robotically-controlled land fill
cellars
- Autonomous power and water services
- Continuous free-flow shipping channels
- Four marinas
- One lifeboat station
- 12 islands on the central eastern shipping channel
It should be noted that although the causeway infrastructure
can take it, no roadway and no public railway will be contained
within the planning application.
The causeway will only land on both shores for landscaped services
access. It has been made clear in consultations that the South
West does not want a road from Wales to land at Brean Down and
act as a 'rat run' to the M5. Should the Vale of Glamorgan Council
and / or Sedgemoor District Council wish to utilise the causeway
they must create their own planning application at arms length.
All construction work on the causeway will be from the sea.
