## Description

The existing earth bund located between Islip weir structure and Mill Street, Islip \(SP5231313783\) is approximately 60m in length\. The bund has suffered damage due to overtopping during significant flood events over many years\. The main area of damage is focused at the midpoint of the bund alignment\.

The weir will be operated manually and the telemetry apparatus will be updated and powered via renewable energy sources\. The Weir control apparatus and kiosk is required to be fully decommissioned and removed from site\. The telemetry kiosk is required to be raised clear of the floodplain at its current location\. Installation of telemetry apparatus within kiosk including ducting to the adjacent watercourse\. Solar panel to be mounted on a pole at appropriate location on site\.
