1. Notice about the proposed improvement works
The Environment Agency gives notice that it proposes to carry out improvement works to the flood defences on the River Ouse in Reedness between Swinefleet (NGR SE 77165 22607) and Reedness Drain (NGR SE 79938 23148), a distance of 3.3 kilometres.
The Environment Agency considers that the improvement works are not likely to have significant effects on the environment and does not intend to prepare an environmental statement in respect of them.
2. Proposed improvement works
The proposed improvement works will involve the following:
- raising the level of the flood defences by up to 1 metre in height
- a sheet piling solution behind Reedness village
- raising the existing earth embankment between Reedness and Swinefleet
3. Make a representation
If you would like to make a representation in relation to the likely environmental effects of the proposed improvement works you should do so, in writing, within 28 days of publication of this notice.
If no representations are received in respect of the environmental effects of the proposal within this time period, then work will be implemented. It is anticipated that works will commence in spring 2014.
