The reach includes France Farm hatch, which consist of 2 hatch boards (recently replaced), and causes a major barrier to fish migration and the impoundment extends upstream for around 1km. There is also a stocked fishing pond which is maintained by an offtake from the impounded upstream river. The project involved lowering the level of an existing online pond which allowed for the full and permenant opening of all the hatches on the main river. The proposed works on the main river upstream of the structre will be delayed until observations of any geomorphological change on the river.
