The Environmental Impact Assessment (Land Drainage Improvement Works) (Amendment) Regulations 2006

Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Environmental Impact Assessment (Land Drainage Improvement Works) Regulations 1999 (“the 1999 Regulations”), which apply to England and Wales.

Regulation 2 amends regulation 13B of the 1999 Regulations, which was inserted into the 1999 Regulations by the Environmental Impact Assessment (Land Drainage Improvement Works) (Amendment) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/1399) (“the 2005 Regulations”). It amends regulation 13B by clarifying that drainage bodies may substitute for one of the notices required to be placed in at least two newspapers a notice on the site of the proposed improvement works.

A full Regulatory Impact Assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business. A full Regulatory Impact Assessment and a transposition note was prepared in connection with the amendments made to the 1999 Regulations by the 2005 Regulations, and has been placed in the library of each House of Parliament. Copies are obtainable from either Lucy Toman, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Flood Management Division, Room 202, Foss House, Kings Pool, 1-2 Peasholme Green, York YO1 7PX (email:[e-mail]) or Cedric Moon, Welsh Assembly Government, Environmental Protection Division, Cathays Park, Cardiff CF10 3NQ (email: [e-mail]).
