The Environment Agency proposes to change the existing main river map on the River Wensum at Great Ryburgh End, Great Ryburch Common and Swanton Morley, Norfolk.
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 shall correct the main river map:
- between national grid reference (NGR) TF 96617 26826 & NGR TF 97244 26303 (the River Wensum at Great Ryburgh End)
- between NGR TF93862 29150 & TF 93727 29168 (the River Wensum at Great Ryburgh Common)
- between NGR TG 02129 17781 & TG 02203 17706 (the River Wensum at Swanton Morley.)
For each correction, 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’.
These changes mean that the map would show the correct location of the watercourse. They do not change who has power to carry out flood risk management work on the watercourse.
River restoration works on the River Wensum at Great Ryburgh and Swanton Morley have resulted in additional watercourses being added to the main river map.
