6.40

Representation ID: 99159

Received: 11/11/2022

Respondent: Lead Local Flood Authority (Norfolk County Council)

Representation Summary:

Flooding, water resources and water quality - 6.40: We would suggest the inclusion of wording to cover the requirement for consenting and/or permitting from the appropriate body for any works that could affect the flow or cross-sectional area of a watercourse.
You will need a consent or permit if your work or structure will affect the flow or cross-sectional area of a watercourse. This applies to both temporary and permanent changes. For further help and advice visit Consent for work on ordinary watercourses - Norfolk County Council.
You must have a consent or permit by law before you begin work. If you begin work without this, you could be asked to change or remove the works.
A watercourse consent application is managed outside of the planning process and can take up to 8 weeks.
