Announcement of the Environment Agency’s intention not to prepare an environmental statement (Regulation 5 of the Environmental Impact Assessment (Land Drainage Improvement Works) Regulations 1999 as amended by SI 2005/1399 and SI 2006/618.
The Environment Agency gives notice that they propose to carry out improvement works to the flood defences on the River Humber in Paull between the access track to Thorngumbald Clough (National Grid Reference: TA 17352 25554) and Paull Holme Farm (National Grid Reference: TA 18244 24714) - a distance of 1.3 kilometres.
The proposed improvement works will involve:
- temporary closure of the public right of way
- stripping the topsoil
- bulk excavation
- re-profiling the existing embankment
- importing fill material
- reinstating the topsoil and seeding
The Environment Agency considers that the improvement works are not likely to have significant effects on the environment. They do not intend to prepare an environmental statement in respect of them.
If you wish to make representations in relation to the likely environmental effects of the proposed improvement works, please do so in writing to the following address by 11 April 2018:
