Hmmm lets not let bloomin H+S get in the way...i have been to many a country pub with ponds, duck ponds and streams....it would be awful to have to fence it but maybe a small pickett fence may be in order...but...if it hasnt had to have this until now and the pub has previously been open i guess the H+S inspectors are fine with it.
I go to a pub in Whitstable that is literally on the shingle of the beach....no sign of fences around the sea?..

You obviously know the pond better than us Turs so if it is worse than it looks than fair enough...but whatever you do you need to keep the sloping beach style edges as you already know.
