The textured tiles would help rebuild habitats and attract animals like water voles and kingfishers.

An environmental charity has submitted plans to install bio-receptive tiles in an estuary to rebuild habitats for coastal wildlife.

Groundwork North East & Cumbria (GNEC) want to build 95 bio-receptive tiles and six artificial rock pools on the disused slipway at Whitehall Landing, in Whitby, near the A171.

It is hoped the plans would help to attract new species and improve diversity of species such as water voles, kingfishers and freshwater pearl mussels.
