Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Holly Brook is a tributary of Tanner’s Brook, a heavily urbanised watercourse which flows through Millbrook and into Southampton Water. Both watercourses are heavily modified in their lower reaches due to urban development and are subject to fluvial flooding at various locations. The Holly Brook channel has been straightened and culverted in some sections. Flow in the Holly Brook is predominantly uniform glides with a meandering planform and localised riffles and pools – overall it has limited geomorphological diversity. Further downstream it is constrained by urban development. In Southampton Golf Club the channel had been culverted, resulting in poor drainage. The 27 hole golf course is characterised by a highly managed undulating landscape with frequent copses of mature trees throughout the course. Holly Brook is currently culverted through the middle of the course, with the exception of a short stretch through a large woodland copse in the very centre of the course (designated as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation). To the north of the golf course, the brook flows naturally through a mature woodland copse. To the south, the brook is culverted underneath Southampton Sports Centre.
