Description

The National Forest Company, acting on behalf of the Charnwood Forest Regional Park partnership, invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced contractors to deliver the second phase of a project to design and install Natural Flood Management (NFM) interventions along the Wood Brook within the Charnwood Forest Landscape Partnership Scheme (LPS) area. These interventions will reduce flood flows downstream, mitigate diffuse rural pollution and provide increased biodiversity.
The purpose of Phase 2 of the natural flood management project is to install 15 NFM interventions along the Wood Brook in Charnwood Forest. These include river restoration, wetland creation and bank protection measures and are outlined in the Charnwood NFM Phase 1 final report (see Appendix 3). We believe that by working together with our partners in the Charnwood Forest Regional Park, the Environment Agency, the Soar Catchment Partnership, and landowners in the area, we will be able to bring about improvements in flood risk management, water quality and biodiversity.
