Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


This reach is located at Charlton St Peter and is 1945m in length. The reach is designated SSSI but not SAC. There is good marginal habitat along both banks due to electric fencing being used to protect the banks from livestock. The upstream end of the channel is deeply incised with low floodplain connectivity as a result; the upstream end of the reach may have been dredged in the past. Ranunculus fluitantis is prevalent when the channel opens up and is not densely shaded. There is a private fishery nearby managed by the Rushall Estate. There is evidence that the channel downstream of Charlton St Peter has been dredged. This has resulted in the formation of some high levees adjacent to the channel, which cut off the river from the floodplain and over-shades it in places.
