Purpose of Policy and Planning Committee meeting
This committee attends to all matters of policy developed either in-house or
right places
(See graphic). A sensible layout for a
grazed streambank is:
• Rushes, sedges or water-tolerant shrubs
at the water’s edge (Zone C) to protect
against scour. They should be flexible,
not bulky, so they don’t impede
floodwater
• Erosion-control shrubs and trees farther
up (Zone B), where there is less risk that
erosion will topple growing plants into
the channel before their roots can
stabilise its bank
• Timber trees at the top of the bank
(Zone A), next to the
environment.
