Your feedback is being analysed.

The Environment Agency consulted on this proposal for change between 13 July 2015 and 16 August 2015.

The Environment Agency proposes to change the existing main river map at Hadleigh Marsh Sewer, Hadleigh Marsh, Benfleet, Essex.

It proposes the 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 proposed determination is that we will correct the main river map between national grid reference (NGR) TQ8126185278 and NGR TQ8066484986. The watercourse no longer to be considered as Main River is to be the watercourse shown as a ‘deletion’ on the main river consultation map.

The change means that the map would show the corrected location of main river watercourses in the locality.

Hadleigh Marsh Sewer no longer exists on the current main river alignment. The marsh drainage network was altered early in 1980 and as a result this watercourse was lost, with drainage re-routed to the remaining drainage ditch behind the tidal defences.

1. How to view the proposed changes
