Catchment projects map
Locate restoration, monitoring and access schemes across the River Brent catchment.
Projects by river reach
The catchment plan groups active and proposed schemes by reach so that partners can see where work is concentrated and where gaps remain. Each reach has a short register entry covering the lead organisation, the stage of delivery and the measures expected to be in place.
- Upper Brent: headwater wetlands, culvert daylighting and farm pond restoration
- Middle Brent: bank reprofiling, floodplain reconnection and invasive plant control
- Lower Brent: fish passage improvements, riverside path renewal and tidal interface monitoring
Site photographs
Photographs below were taken during recent surveys and construction phases. They show the condition of the channel before and after works, and they inform the monitoring points marked on the map.
Delivery status of current schemes
Works are underway on schemes that have secured permissions and funding. Progress is reported quarterly to the catchment partnership, with any changes to programme recorded in the register.
Designs are complete for these projects, but landowner agreements or environmental permits remain outstanding. Partners share survey data to speed up review.
Completed schemes stay on the map for at least three years so that post-works monitoring of water quality, habitat and channel form can be tracked against baseline data.
Reading the map
Marker colour shows delivery stage. Monitoring points are shown as small squares and link to the latest survey summary.
Programme phases
Baseline surveys
Habitat, hydrology and water quality baselines were recorded at 60 sites.
Design approval
Designs for priority reaches were reviewed by the partnership steering group.
Works programme
Construction is scheduled to follow the agreed sequence from upstream to downstream.
