Explanatory note
England, Wales and Scotland
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order abolishes the Anglian Regional Flood Defence Committee, and the five local flood defence districts within its area. It establishes in its place three new regional flood defence committees, namely: –
the Anglian (Central) Regional Flood Defence Committee;
the Anglian (Eastern) Regional Flood Defence Committee; and
the Anglian (Northern) Regional Flood Defence Committee.
The Order sets out the area and arrangements for the appointment of members to each of the new regional flood defence committees. In the case of members appointed by constituent councils it specifies how many members shall be appointed by each council or group of councils.
Regional flood defence committees were established by section 14 of the Environment Act 1995.
No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in respect of this Order.
