Description
The proposal is for approximately 650m of river bank protection (170m South Oxfordshire & 480m Wycombe District Council, on the River Thames, Henley. River bank protection is required to reduce any further riverbank erosion; it is estimated that up to 1 m of bank is eroded in a year.
The river bank protection will consist of green bio-engineering solutions, to strengthen the bank and improve biodiversity of the area. The work will consist of the following three options:
1. Vegetated coir rolls installed over submerged rock rolls and backfilled.
2. Pre-seeded geotextile bags and suitable growing medium, installed over submerged gabions. Hazel faggots / timber will be fixed securely to the gabions, on the riverside.
3. Layer of gravel installed underwater on river bank, up to 50 mm thick and not further than 2 m from local bank edge, to protect naturally formed, 'beaches'.
The bank protection will protect existing trees on the riverbank by running around the riverside of these trees. The works will not include any topping, lopping, or felling of any trees
