The proposed improvement work - between Doctors Hill debris screen (NGR SX 09869 90599) and the corner of vehicle repair workshop (NGR SX 09872 90573), a distance of 0.02 kilometres - will involve the following:
- reinforcing the existing right bank of the channel (looking downstream) with natural pitched stone over a distance of approximately 15 metres
- installing low level natural stone check weirs within the channel bed over a distance of approximately 20 metres to stabilise both the riverbank and riverbed
Intention not to prepare an environmental statement
The Environment Agency considers the improvement work is not likely to have significant effects on the environment and does not intend to prepare an environmental statement in respect of it. An environmental screening document is available on request from tony.rago@environment-agency.gov.uk.
Any person wishing to make representations in relation to the likely environmental effects of the proposed improvement works should do so, in writing, by Friday 15 April 2022.
