This will be a concrete structure incorporating cast iron / steel twin control gates.· Excavation of c.160,000m3 of soil from the fields in the land alongside the Gatwick Stream immediately upstream of a proposed control structure, bunding of the excavated area, and then restoration of the whole site to g razing land which will, together with the formation of embankments along the western and eastern boundaries of the flood storage area, create a storage ‘reservoir’ capable of holding c.186,000m3 of floodwater· Removal of 150,000m3 of the excavated material from the site.· Diversion of a section of the Gatwick Stream and engineering of embankments to form a floodwater inlet to the storage area during high river flows and a simple outlet structure upstream of the control structure for water to return as flows recede.· Construction of a pumping station adjacent to the control structure to remove water collecting from direct rainfall in the storage area to the Gatwick stream as well as residual flood water.· Construction of a vehicular maintenance access route to the control structure, which is to be incorporated into the new embankment.· Construction of a single storey 6m x 4m control building next to the maintenance access route.· Extension of the permissive footpath network, including a new footbridge over the Gatwick Stream.· Landscape and Ecological enhancement measures including restoration of the site to grazing land, new tree planting (approx. 2000 trees) and reinstatement of hedgerows (approx. 540 linear metres).
