Greening streets, retrofit rain gardens BMP

Raingarden

Created at: 09 Feb 2024

Description

The setting is a quiet residential road, consisting of 67 properties. A grass verge with occasional mature trees runs the entire length of the road. There is limited parking pressure with most homes having provision for off-street parking. The road is adjacent to the Day Brook. This heavily modified watercourse has poor water quality due in part to numerous sources of urban diffuse pollution. In addition there are a total of 972 properties which fall within the Day Brook floodplain. Previous fluvial events have led to property flooding downstream.
