What is happening?
ENVIRONMENT AGENCY
Announcement Of Intention Not To Prepare An Environmental Statement - Regulation 5 Of The Environmental Impact Assessment Land Drainage Improvement Works (Amended) Regulations 1999 - Si 1999/1783
Tail Sluice Refurbishment
The Environment Agency gives notice that it proposes to carry out refurbishment works to the flood defences on River Great Ouse in Saddlebow, King’s Lynn (TF60508172980). The proposed refurbishment works will involve the following: repainting the steelwork, replacing/refurbishing mechanical parts, and improving health and safety measures. The sluice is part of a system of assets that control flood risk to 1077 residential properties in the South Level of the Fens. The works will benefit the community by ensuring the sluice is maintained in an operable condition and continue to provide its expected standard of service.
The Environment Agency considers that the refurbishment works are not likely to have significant effects on the environment and does not intend to prepare an environmental statement in respect of them. We have produced a non-statutory Environmental Report, which lays out how we intend to manage the environmental impacts on site. A copy of this report is available upon request by contacting the Project Manager using the details provided below. With reference to Schedule 2 of the Environmental Impact Assessment (Land Drainage Improvement Works) Regulations 1999 (as amended), as well as the characteristics of the refurbishment works, the location of the refurbishment works and the type and characteristics of the potential impact, it is considered that the proposed works will not have a significant effect on the environment.
Any person wishing to make representations in relation to the likely environmental effects of the proposed refurbishment works should do so, in writing, to the address specified below, within 30 days of the date of publication of this notice.
