Midlands scheme set to open in 2021

Plans for a £25m surf park east of Birmingham have been submitted for planning by Huddersfield-based architect A&DP.

The proposals would see a 5.4-acre artificial lagoon built in Coleshill, Warwickshire, more than 100 miles from the nearest beach - making it the UK’s most landlocked surf park.

The lagoon will seek to replicate aspects of a coral reef - with the wave generator expected to create surf of up to 2m.
