Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order confirms (with modifications) a Scheme submitted by the Environment Agency for the abolition, on a date one month after the confirmation of this Order, of the North Somerset Internal Drainage Board and the Gordano Valley Internal Drainage Board.
A new board, known as “the North Somerset (2005) Internal Drainage Board” replaces these boards. The two former drainage districts are amalgamated to form the corresponding new internal drainage district.
Maps of the two internal drainage districts amalgamated by virtue of the Scheme are available for inspection during office hours at the offices of the North Somerset and Gordano Valley Internal Drainage Boards, Mendip View Farm, Kingston Seymour, Clevedon, Somerset BS21 6XH, and The Environment Agency, Exminster Hourse, Miller Way, Exeter, Devon EX6 8AS.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
