The Environment Agency proposes to change the existing main river map at River Darent, Westerham, Kent. We propose 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 the Environment Agency will correct the main river map between national grid reference (NGR) TQ 44008 53649 and NGR TQ 44421 53667. 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 would show the correct location of the watercourse. It does not change who has power to carry out flood risk management work on the watercourse.
1. How to view the proposed changes
You can see the proposals on the main river consultation map here. The green line (‘addition’) on the map is the proposed new line to show the correct position of the watercourse. The red line (‘deletion’) is the incorrect line, which would be deleted.

The Environment Agency also proposes to increase 2 lengths of watercourse which are tributaries of the River Darent at Westerham, Kent that are designated as a ‘main river’. The proposed determination is that the watercourse between NGR TQ 44009 53582 and NGR TQ 44034 53651 and between NGR TQ 44009 53582 and NGR TQ 44302 53691, which are shown as an addition on the main river consultation map, are to be treated as a main river.
