Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.


Enhance a section of the Hogsmill through the STW by creating marginal and wetland area berms, backwaters and scrapes. This is within a wider wildlife area within the STW, encompassing wildflower grassland, tree planting and visitor interpretation trail and enhancement works to Surbiton Lagoon. Section 106 development gain from planning permission. Original scheme no longer valid so work proposed to the Hogsmill to enhance the channel edge habitat.

Lessons learnt

Edit project overview to modify the lessons learnt.


Spring 2013:
A number of large log deflectors that were placed there to attempt to improve flow and scour are currently ineffective due to the over wide channel. The Hogsmill STW phase 2 project will build on this previous work undertaken by Thames Water.

Good population of large fish, probably chub (approx 40-60cm)
Parts of the Hogsmill River support extensive aquatic vegetation and some London rarities such as small pondweed Potamogeton berchtoldii.The upper reaches have a diverse invertebrate community including some species characteristic of chalk streams. Caddisflies and mayflies have been found, as well as the more pollution tolerant beetles, freshwater shrimps and freshwater limpets.
