  • Written Evidence Submitted by Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative
    Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative WQR0011 Written evidence submitted by Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative 1. The Colne Valley Fisheries Consultative is based in the Colne Valley, Hertfordshire and represents fishery and conservation interests in the waterscapes of the River Colne, Mimmshall Brook, Upper Colne, Ellen Brook, R Ver, R Bulbourne, R Gade, R Chess, R Misbourne, Shires Ditch, Alder Bourne, Pymmes Brook, R Brent or Crane, Frays River, R Pinn, Bigley Ditch, Poyle Channel, Colne Brook, Wraysbury River, Bonehead Ditch, Duke of Northumberland’s River, Longford River, R Ash and the many lakes which hold water in the lands surrounding the rivers. 2. The rivers to the west of the catchment are all important chalk streams draining the Chilterns. The same chalk aquifer provides much of the water for consumption to Affinity Water, the supply company, and to Thames Water which has responsibility for waste water and sewage. 3. The Grand Union Canal runs into and out of the rivers Bulbourne, Gade and Colne and the whole system is a tributary of the River Thames. 4. Membership of the Consultative is open and presently it represents about forty angling clubs with local water holdings with a combined individual membership in the regions of 50,000. Many Londoners use the Colne Valley as their local wild place for angling, walking, sailing, boating, running and cycling with good communication links to and from the city. 5. The Consultative works in partnership with many stakeholders; the individual river groups, Herts & Middlesex Wildlife Trust, London Wildlife Trust, Colne Valley Regional Park, The Environment Agency, TW and AW, Angling Trust, Fish Legal, Wild Trout Trust and many others.

  • South Colne Sub-Area 3
    SOUTH COLNE DETAILED STRATEGIES SUB-AREA 3 South Colne character South Colne is characterised by flatter topography as the River Colne approaches its confluence with the Thames. Braided watercourses and flood meadows typify the landscape, which is dominated in aerial views by a series of large reservoirs, the product of historic gravel extraction industry in the area. The South West London Reservoirs are internationally significant for the populations of overwintering birds they support, some from as far afield as the Arctic. This area also includes Heathrow airport and the extensive associated transport infrastructure. In close proximity to the airport lie some significant heritage assets including Harmondsworth Barn, the largest timber- framed building in England. © Brian Robert Marshall CC Andreas Trepte, www.photo-natur.net Harmondsworth Barn River Colne flowing through Staines Moor Lakes and reservoirs important for SOUTH COLNE overwintering wildfowl DETAILED SUB-AREA 3 STRATEGIES © Stefan Czapski The Causeway at Staines Reservoir Ankerwycke Priory - home to the Ankerwycke Colne Brook at Wraysbury - important for Yew wildlife Colne & Crane valleys green infrastructure strategy 51 South Colne area strategy overview The strategy for South Colne and Heathrow associated opportunities for education and is to improve and repair the landscape and interpretation and new viewpoints. connectivity for people and wildlife, conserve INTERWOVEN RIVERS and enhance valuable ecological habitats and Water and biodiversity enhancements should aim promote access for all to new and improved to restore floodplains and focus on the benefits of RECREATION landscape destinations. natural landscapes to contribute to natural flood LOCAL + GLOBAL management in this low lying landscape.

  • 15 Road Drainage and the Water Environment
    HIGHWAYS AGENCY – M4 JUNCTIONS 3 TO 12 SMART MOTORWAY 15 ROAD DRAINAGE AND THE WATER ENVIRONMENT 15.1 Introduction 15.1.1 This chapter assesses the impacts of the Scheme on road drainage and the water environment during construction and operation, focussing on the effects of highway drainage on the quality and hydrology of receiving waters. In view of the long design-life of the Scheme (30 years for new gantries, 40 years for new carriageway construction, and 120 years for new bridges), the decommissioning phase of the Scheme has not been considered in this chapter because its effects are not predicted to be worse than the effects assessed during the construction and operational phases. The chapter assesses four principal impacts: a) effects of routine runoff on surface water bodies; b) effects of routine runoff on groundwater; c) pollution impacts from spillages; and d) flood impacts. 15.1.2 Although Interim Advice Note (”IAN”) 161/13 ‘Managed Motorways, All lane running’ (Ref 15-1) has scoped out the assessment of ‘Road Drainage and the Water Environment’ for smart motorway schemes, the assessment is required to ensure the protection of the water environment, to prevent its degradation, and ensure adequate mitigation measures are in place to prevent any adverse impacts. 15.1.3 The road drainage and water environment assessment for the Scheme has been undertaken in accordance with standard industry practice and statutory guidance. 15.1.4 This chapter details the methodology followed for the assessment, and summarises the regulatory and policy framework relating to road drainage and the water environment.

  • Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a Resource Assessment
    Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Buckinghamshire: a resource assessment Inheritance Mobility Although Neolithic populations are thought to have had continued mobility, more and more evidence for Neolithic settlement has come to light. In Buckinghamshire the most important evidence comes from excavations in advance of the construction of Eton Rowing Course (ERC) and the Maidenhead to Windsor and Eton Flood Alleviation Scheme (MWEFAS), mainly in the parish of Dorney in South Bucks on the Thames. The evidence points to intensive use of the area by people in the Early Neolithic but it is not certain that it represents year-round sedentary occupation rather than seasonal re-use (Allen et al 2004). Other evidence does point to continued mobility, such as the artefact scatters at Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham (Mitchell 2004) and East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990) for example, reflecting visits over a long period of time. Persistent places Mesolithic persistent places continue to have meaning for Early and later Neolithic populations. These persistent places include East Street, Chesham (Collard 1990, 18) and Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age activity at Chessvale Bowling Club nearby (Halsted 2006, 23-8). Another persistent place seems to have been the lower reaches of the River Colne. Recent excavations at the Sanderson Site, Denham (Halsey 2005) continued the activity from nearby Three Ways Wharf, Uxbridge (Lewis 1991). Other persistent places include the attractive river valley location at Bancroft in Milton Keynes (Williams 1993, 5), and Scotsgrove Mill, Haddenham, where the River Thame meets one of its tributaries (Mitchell 2004, 1). These persistent places may have been the basis of evolving ideas about land tenure.

  • Sediment Impact Anaysis for the Lower Thames Flood Strategy Study
    PROCEEDINGS of the Eighth Federal Interagency Sedimentation Conference (8thFISC), April2-6, 2006, Reno, NV, USA SEDIMENT IMPACT ANAYSIS FOR THE LOWER THAMES FLOOD STRATEGY STUDY Ian M Tomes, SE Area Flood Risk Manager, Environment Agency (Thames Region), Frimley, Surrey, UK, [email protected]; Oliver P. Harmar, Consultant Geomorphologist, Halcrow Group, Leeds, UK, [email protected]; Colin R. Thorne, Professor of Physical Geography, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK, [email protected], INTRODUCTION Sediment impact assessment was performed during the Lower Thames Flood Strategy Study to assess the geomorphological sustainability of river-bed re-profiling to reduce flood risk in the reach between Datchet and Teddington. The specific objectives of the sediment study were to: i. estimate how much sediment is likely to be deposited in, or eroded from, the study reach by flows up to and including long return interval flood events for ‘do minimum’ and ‘bed reprofiling’ options that would lower the bed by 0.5 to 1 m; ii. estimate an average annual rate of sedimentation for the ‘do minimum’ and ‘bed reprofiling’ options. MORPHOLOGY OF THE RIVER THAMES The study reach of the River Thames has the characteristics of a mature, lowland river with well developed meanders and reaches divided by stable, mid-channel islands. The movement of water and sediment along the river has been controlled by locks and weirs for over a century. These structures present obstructions to the natural movement of sediment and dredging was, historically, required to maintain a navigable channel. The banks along much of the navigable river have been stabilised by revetment and, therefore, the river is unable to adjust its planform.
