Explanatory note

This Order confirms (with modifications) a Scheme submitted by the Environment Agency for the alteration of the boundaries of the East Harling Internal Drainage District.

The effect of the alteration is that the East Harling Internal Drainage District will include all those lands shown edged green on the three maps sealed by the Agency in relation to the Scheme. These maps are available for inspection during office hours at the offices of the Environment Agency at Kingfisher House, Goldhay Way, Orton Goldhay, Peterborough PE2 5ZR.

Notice of intention to make the draft Order was originally given in 2004 in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Schedule 3 to the Land Drainage Act 1991. Objections to the draft Order were received and the Minister has considered those objections and determined to make this Order.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
