Ea Beck, South Kirkby: decision of factual change

Published 7 November 2016

This notice was withdrawn on

The appeal period has ended and the proposed changes to the main river map have been made.

After a period of consultation, the Environment Agency has decided to change the main river map for Ea Beck, South Kirkby, West Yorkshire.

The Environment Agency is making this change as a ‘determination’ under section 193C(1) of the Water Resources Act 1991. A determination is a formal decision to change the main river map.

The determination is that we shall correct the main river map between national grid reference (NGR) SE 455420 119060 and NGR SE 458640 118810. The main river is to be the watercourse shown as an ‘addition’ on the main river consultation map rather than the watercourse shown as a ‘deletion’.

The change means that the map will show the correct location of the watercourse. It does not change who is responsible for carrying out flood risk management work on the watercourse.

1. How to view the changes
