Paragraph 17 River wallI1

Subject to sub-paragraph (4), no part of Work No. 4 may commence until a river wall condition survey on those parts of the river wall within the order limits has been submitted to and approved by the Environment Agency in writing, in consultation with the relevant planning authority.

The river wall condition survey submitted pursuant to sub-paragraph (1) must, where appropriate, identify any remedial works required to bring the tidal flood defence up to a good standard considering a design life of 100 years.

The remedial works required to bring the defence up to a good standard identified pursuant to sub-paragraph (2) must be carried out within two years of the date that the condition survey is approved under sub-paragraph (1), or such other time period as is agreed by the Environment Agency.

No river wall condition survey is required to be undertaken under sub-paragraph (1) to the extent that any parts of the river wall have already been assessed as part of any survey undertaken pursuant to requirement 20 (river wall) in Schedule 2 (requirements) to the REP Order.
