The Environment Agency proposes to change the existing main river map at Grass Farm, Delph Ditch, Wallasea Island, Essex.

It proposes these changes 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 proposed determination is that we shall correct the main river map:

  • between national grid reference (NGR) TQ 95095 94926 and NGR TQ 96686 94681 (the Grass Farm Delph Ditch)
  • between NGR TQ 95907 94842 and NGR TQ 96091 95082 (the Grass Farm Delph Ditch).

For each correction, the main river is to be the watercourse shown as a ‘deletion’ on the main river consultation map

These changes mean that the map would show the correct status of the watercourse.

The changes have been sought as this watercourse no longer exists as a consequence of managed realignment works which were carried out in advance of the large RSPB & Crossrail wetland habitat creation project at Wallasea Island, Essex.
