Explanatory note

This Order confirms (with modifications) a Scheme submitted by the Environment Agency for the abolition, on a date one month after the confirmation of this Order, of the Lower Yare First Internal Drainage Board, the Lower Yare Fourth Internal Drainage Board and the Broads Internal Drainage Board.

A new board, known as “The Broads (2006) Internal Drainage Board” replaces these boards. The three former drainage districts are amalgamated to form the corresponding new internal drainage district.

A map of the three internal drainage districts amalgamated by virtue of the Scheme is available for inspection during office hours at the offices of the Environment Agency at Iceni House, Ipswich, Suffolk IP3 9JE.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
