Explanatory note

These Regulations concern appeals against determinations by drainage boards of the values of properties for the purposes of drainage rates.

The owner or occupier of a property the subject of such a determination can serve on the drainage board a notice of objection to the determination; and, unless the determination is cancelled or the objection withdrawn, the notice must be sent to the clerk to a local valuation panel. Where the property lies wholly within the area of one panel, the notice must be sent to the clerk to that panel. These Regulations in the first place prescribe the panel to whose clerk a notice must be sent where the property lies within the area of more than one panel. In the second place they make provision as to the procedure to be followed by local valuation courts on the hearing of appeals against these determinations by drainage boards.

The Regulations apply to England and Wales.
