Details

The Environment Agency consults the public about proposals to change whether a river or stream is designated as a main river. Main rivers are usually larger rivers and streams. The Environment Agency carries out maintenance, improvement or construction work on main rivers to manage flood risk.

For the Great Stour stretch of Main River, the Environment Agency has published:

  • the proposal for designation change notice (consultation now closed)
  • the designation change decision (appeals now closed)

This notice will tell you:

  • what changes the Environment Agency is proposing
  • why the Environment Agency is proposing the changes
  • how you can comment on the proposals

This change is part of the rationalising the main river network: de-maining proposals consultation.
