The Environment Agency has announced that flood defence consents will be replaced by permits for flood risk activities from 6 April 2016, pending Parliamentary approval.
The Agency has published a new map showing areas in England where potential applications may impact on historic and planned Water Framework Directive improvement plans.
The map shows areas that are sensitive under the Water Framework Directive that may affect applications for flood risk activity permits.
The Environment Agency will use the map to inform flood risk activity permit applications or registrations for exemptions from permits. The change may affect the type of permit which can be applied for.
