Flood risk, deliverability and unanimous consensus required for scheme
Acceptance of this option by a landowner does not guarantee that payment will be available, or that any particular option is achievable. It is an agreement to participate in a scheme on the proviso that IDB and EA consent to run said schemes. Agreement amongst all land owners regarding the specific changes to the water level management plan are also a prerequisite for commencement of the scheme and thus payment.
Please note: For flood risk management reasons, this application only applies to the above, pre-approved sites.
