Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

A buffer strip of between 5 and 8 metres is to be created with native planting to create wildflower margin. Deflectors and gravels are to be placed in the river to improve in channel processes and encourage the development of marginal vegetation. Timber latticing is to be placed along the river wall to encourage the growth of vegetation and provide habitat for invertebrates and foraging habitat for birds and bats. To enhance the river as part of the redevelopment of the site and comply with current policy and legislation to improve the environment as part of the planning process. This is also in line with long term aims to improve the River Ravensbourne which is currently channelised and heavily engineered.
