 Hampshire County Council
The River Rother was diverted in Autumn 1988 and the applicant states that failure to consolidate the new banks has meant that large amounts of sand and gravel have been washed into the river, raising the riverbed.
The applicant was advised by the National Rivers Authority that the risk of flooding on his land would increase as a result and that one solution would be to raise the height of his river bank.
The National Rivers Authority has no objection to the proposal but recommends that any infilling be kept back a minimum distance of three metres from the watercourse bank top to minimise the risk of any material falling into the watercourse and the bank surcharging and causing slippage.
