Land drainage consents

Any works (including temporary works) in, over or adjacent to an ordinary water course may require a formal Consent under the Land Drainage Act (1991) from GCC or your district council. Consent for culverting will normally only be granted where it is essential to enable access across the watercourse.

Please refer to your local district council or LLFA websites for more details.

The Environment Agency has location of features such as Source Protection Zones and Groundwater protection: principles and practice (GP3).
