Council planning record

The proposed works comprise the removal of a redundant concrete sill, selective embankment lowering, installation of large woody material, and the excavation of shallow floodplain scrapes to reconnect the River Shalbourne with its historic floodplain. Minor works within an existing drainage ditch, including bank lowering, a shallow conveyance scrape and a gravel plug, will help restore natural flow pathways and improve floodplain function. All works are earthwork-based, with no buildings or permanent structures proposed, and surplus excavated material will be spread on adjacent land outside the functional floodplain.
