The restoration project was implemented to improve the environment on the burn corridor and reduce the risk of flooding (to a 1 in 200 year event). During a 2010 flood event the project proved to successfully limit flood waters to designated flood areas. The works comprised a two stage flood defence scheme with the first stage being a low bund to withhold a 1 in 20 year event. The second stage works involved the construction of clay embankments and sheet pile and concrete walls clad in stone recovered from the park’s boundary wall creating 190,000m³ of flood reservoir storage. Environmental improvements included lowering artificially raised banks and the concrete channel was replaced with sinuous meanders to restore the watercourse. Wetland areas were created to provide habitat variety.
