   4.7   Scour Protection

      It is important to recognise that loose unprotected sand will scour rapidly under action
     from wind and water. Damaged services, in particular, can cause rapid and significant
      scour and erosion in sands.


      In addition to the above guideline notes, we recommend that the site surface surrounding

     the building area be protected against erosion and scour by the installation of stormwater
      and subsoil drainage where appropriate, and by the re-establishment of trees and shrubs
     and ground cover vegetation.      The re-establishment of a good coverage of vegetation is
      considered to be a key strategy for preventing erosion by reinforcing the soil with plant
      roots.
