The Regulations apply to specified land drainage projects in England and Wales ("improvement works") for which the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995 grants planning permission without any requirement for an application to be made under Part III of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The Regulations prohibit drainage bodies from carrying out improvement works unless specified conditions are met. First, the requirements of the Regulations must have been complied with, including the preparation of an "environmental statement" for the purposes of assessing improvement works which are likely to have significant effects on the environment. Secondly, in specified cases, the "appropriate Authority" (that is, in relation to England, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and, in relation to Wales, the National Assembly for Wales) must have given consent and the works must have been carried out in accordance with any conditions to which the consent is subject.
