  Land North East Of Low Hedgeley Cottages Powburn Northumberland NE66 4JD

  Package of river and floodplain restoration works along a c. 5.2 km reach of the River Breamish to restore the river and its associated floodplain to a more natural, self-sustaining condition through re-establishing floodplain connectivity, improving hydromorphological function, enhancing wetland and riparian habitats. Works include excavation of a series of shallow chute channels, selective embankment lowering, removal to permit more frequent inundation, creation of new connection channels linking the river to existing floodplain lakes, localised infilling of redundant or artificial drainage features, in-channel large woody material features will be installed using trees felled locally to increase hydraulic diversity, encourage sediment deposition, create varied aquatic habitats, removal of redundant stone rip-rap will be undertaken in key locations where it is no longer necessary to support the river's recovery by enabling lateral movement, excavated materials will be reused on site where suitable or spread outside the active floodplain and no imported fill is proposed nor is the removal of materials off the land holding.
