Background The Ashby Canal is a 35.3km long narrow canal (of which 9.8km are designated as a SSSI) and runs from its junction with the Coventry Canal at Marston Junction to its present terminus at Snarestone. The canal originally extended another 13km to its terminus at Moira. This length was closed due to mining subsidence, although there are plans by third parties to restore the closed section of navigation using alternate routes in places. The canal has no locks along its length. Water supply has historically been an issue for this canal. The main sources of water to the canals are from; The Oxford Canal Longford Pound via Hawkesbury Valve, this feeds the summit pound of the Coventry Canal from the basin in Coventry to the top of the Atherstone flight and all of the Ashby Canal. This pound receives the residual feed from the lock flights at Hillmorton and Braunston which in turn are fed by reservoirs and other sources into the Oxford Canal summit pound. There is also a feed from the River Swift Feed at Hawkesbury lock is by operating the sluice paddle, on the bypass structure, to the required level. The flow rate through the paddle is restricted by the Water level in Longford Pound. Longford Pound The Longford Pound between Hillmorton Locks and Hawkesbury Junction Lock is 17.7 km long. The pound is supplied by the River Swift (via the Brownsover Arm) and is located entirely within the Warwickshire Avon LEAP area. Brownsover Arm/River Swift Feeder Controlled feeder into the Brownsover Arm of the Longford Pound (North Oxford canal) from the River Swift at Churchover. Use of the feeder is controlled by a sluice gate (operated by Waterway staff), with a low flow estimate of 8.51 Ml/d derived from the 80 year rainfall-runoff modelling results (catchment area 66.65km2, estimated from IH Micro Low Flows). The canal feeder and River Swift flows are gauged by the Environment Agency, although there are significant problems with the reliability of data for the canal feeder. There are only minor third party water supply demands from these canals, e.g. a number of cattle troughs on the Ashby Canal, and some spray irrigation, mineral washing and small reservoir abstractions on the Coventry Canal. Maximum daily abstraction of approx. 6Ml, total annual of 520Ml if all used. The SSSI stretch of canal contains 12 units, commencing nr Congerstone and ending at Turnover Bridge just north of Snarestone. It covers a length of 9.8km. 4 The SSSI, notified in 1988, supports a nationally uncommon aquatic plant community characteristic of eutrophic (nutrient-rich) water. The flora includes a number of nationally scarce species. The presence of this brackish water community, over 50 km inland, is of particular interest. More information on the SSSI is available at: http://www.natureonthemap.naturalengland.org.uk/map.aspx Following Common Standards Monitoring in 2009/10, Natural England classified the Ashby Canal SSSI as Unfavourable No Change conservation status. In relation to water quality, it failed on the following attributes: Phosphate levels (higher than acceptable) Suspended Solids/ turbidity (higher than acceptable) Dissolved Oxygen Levels Transparency Channel Shading Aquatic plant communities- quantity and species richness The failure of water chemistry is most likely to be having an impact on the notified macrophyte vegetation and needs to be addresses as a matter of urgency. Monthly WQ sampling has been undertaken at Turnover Bridge to assess monthly trends but further WQ sampling in needed. Results from Turnover Bridge can be provided on request. A Diffuse Water Pollution Plan is currently in the draft stage and as well as collating all available data on the site’s condition. A catchment walk over of the Ashby Canal from Marston Bridge to Turnover Bridge has been completed by the Environment Agency and the Canal and River Trust; we require a contractor to complete a Catchment Walkover for all main sources of water to the Ashby Canal: The Oxford Canal Longford Pound via Hawkesbury Valve Feed at Hawkesbury lock Longford Pound Brownsover Arm/River Swift Feeder Griff pumps from Griff Brook into Coventry Summit Pound about 1.7km downstream of its junction with the Ashby Canal. Up to 3Ml/day when running. There are also a number of feeders to the Coventry Canal, some supply significant amounts of water, which effectively supply the Ashby Canal- since the top pound of the Coventry Canal runs from the centre of Coventry to Atherstone Locks. Names are Rawn Hill, Mancetter, Hartshill and Wem Feeders - shown on plan below. To identify sources of nutrients and sediment, such as the physical location of discharges, areas of poaching,

The residual risk from canals tends to be associated with lower probability events such as overtopping and embankment failure. As part of assessing flood risk from the canals, canal breach assessments have been identified based on areas of raised embankments in close proximity to proposed ¯ development sites. These assessments do not take the structural integrity of the embankment into account or quantify a risk of failure. Flooding may occur at any location along the canal system where there is a raised embankment. The mapping is intended to provide an indication of the likely impact of selected failure scenarios. It is not intended that inundation mapping provides a comprehensive analysis of all failure scenarios and further site specific analysis will need to be considered at all sites located within the vicinity of a canal system. Developers should be aware that any site that is at or below canal bank level may be subject to canal flooding and this should be taken into account when building resilience into low level properties Key Plan Legend Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Depth (m) 0 - 0.01 Canal Breach Location Proposed Development Area 0.01 - 0.1 PDA2a 0.1 - 0.5 Principal watercourses 0.5 - 1.0 Other Watercourses 1.0 - 1.5 Coventry Canal 1.5 - 2.0 2.0 - 2.5 2.5 - 4.5 Reproduced from Ordnance Survey mapping with the permission of Ordnance Survey on behalf of the Controller of Her Majesty's Stationary Office.

  • Coarse Fishing Close Season on English Rivers
    Coarse fishing close season on English rivers Appendix 1 – Current coarse fish close season arrangements The close season on different waters In England, there is a coarse fish close season on all rivers, some canals and some stillwaters. This has not always been the case. In the 1990s, only around 60% of the canal network had a close season and in some regions, the close season had been dispensed with on all stillwaters. Stillwaters In 1995, following consultation, government confirmed a national byelaw which retained the coarse fish close season on rivers, streams, drains and canals, but dispensed with it on most stillwaters. The rationale was twofold: • Most stillwaters are discrete waterbodies in single ownership. Fishery owners can apply bespoke angling restrictions to protect their stocks, including non-statutory close times. • The close season had been dispensed with on many stillwaters prior to 1995 without apparent detriment to those fisheries. This presented strong evidence in favour of removing it. The close season is retained on some Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) and the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads, as a precaution against possible damage to sensitive wildlife - see Appendix 1. This consultation is not seeking views on whether the close season should be retained on these stillwaters While most stillwater fishery managers have not re-imposed their own close season rules, some have, either adopting the same dates as apply to rivers or tailoring them to their waters' specific needs. Canals The Environment Agency commissioned a research project in 1997 to examine the evidence around the close season on canals to identify whether or not angling during the close season was detrimental to canal fisheries.

These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

  • Coventry Canal: a Towpath Arts Trail
    AINA CASE STUDY CULTURAL HERITAGE Coventry Canal: a towpath arts trail Three examples of the imaginative artwork and sculpture to be found alongside the towpath in Coventry Britain's longest outdoor art gallery helps interpret local heritage and canal history Like so many urban waterways the Coventry Canal combines industrial heritage and recent development with open spaces and areas of nature conservation interest. The nine kilometre length between Coventry Canal Basin and Hawkesbury Junction, where it meets the Oxford Canal, has seen substantial improvements over the last twenty years, including towpath works, access points, signage and regeneration of derelict sites next to the waterway. A canalside arts trail now compliments these enhancements and the towpath provides the setting for almost 40 installations which have been created by 31 different artists from the UK and overseas. Many of the pieces, which range in scale from small seats to larger than life sculptures, reflect the social and cultural heritage of the canal, and efforts were made to involve local people. Older residents, for example, were invited to share their memories from the days when the canal was a thriving commercial artery. Specific features include a bronze statue of canal engineer James Brindley and a mosaic map of the canal (both located by the Basin), a heritage marker which celebrates the first car factory in the UK, and a sculpture which commemorates the work of the canal navvies through depiction of the simple tools used by the early canal builders. The old local boating families are represented by a couple of steel sculptures which pay tribute to the people who lived and worked on the barges.

The Conservation Area runs parallel to the A426 Leicester Road on the eastern side and incorporates Brownsover Hall and a small number of houses to the south together with St Michael’s Church. Undeveloped land to the east and around the hall is included within the Conservation Area. The area was designated a Conservation Area in July 1992 and the designation covers all the buildings within the hamlet but excludes the recent residential development of Monarch Close. Conservation Areas were introduced by the Civic Amenities Act in 1967 and they are defined by the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 as an ‘area of special architectural or historic interest, the character of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’. Section 69 of the act places a duty on the Local Authority to review its Conservation Areas from time to time and section 71 to formulate and publish proposals for their preservation and enhancement.
