Street Record Carham Berwick Borough Footpath 011 Carham Northumberland

Awaiting decision Northumberland National Park 26/03195/LBC Listed Building Consent

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Proposal

Listed Building Consent for temporary access to the river/channel will be provided, including vegetation clearance where required. The working area around Bridge Pier 3 will be dewatered using temporary works, including a temporary watercourse diversion via upstream and downstream bagwork cofferdams and a PVC pipe (or suitable alternative) to maintain flows. Riverbed and bank materials will be excavated to formation level, followed by installation of a geotextile layer and rip-rap protection around Pier 3. The rip-rap will be backfilled and tied into upstream and downstream bed levels using reinstated site-won material, with bed levels reprofiled to provide a smooth transition over 2m. Excavated riverbanks will be reinstated using site-won material at slopes up to 1:2, covered with topsoil and biodegradable geotextile, and grass seeded to promote vegetation establishment.

About heritage and listed building applications

Listed building consent is needed for works that affect the special interest of a listed building, and carrying out such works without it is a criminal offence. More in our guide to planning application types.
