There's a new lake local to me, he had to get 200 Tonnes of soil removed by grab lorry's and then pay to dispose of it.
My in-laws have a farm with 270 acres and it's my dream to dig a lake and create a syndicate but the outlay would be massive.
Most lakes near us were dug when extracting gravel and the land owners were payed so we're in a win win situation at the time.

Have you looked into the possibility that there might be valuable aggregate under the land? I know someone who just happened to have a gravel seam under his land. Company came in extracted the gravel and paid him for it and restored the land to his liking (decided at time of planning). I believe it's how John Wilson had his lake dug as well.

I think that depends on if you have an inlet and/or an outlet.

That's very true, I believe John Wilson got his dug to extract gravel which a lot of the lakes around Taverham/Lenwade were for the Norwich ring roads.
