24_11_2008 ENVIRONMENT AGENCY - WRRG to Environment Agency

24_11_2008 WRRG to Head Office, Environment Agency.
On the 25th September 2008 (copy letter enclosed) North Devon District Council wrote to re-engage this Group in our concerns of the non-compliance with the S106 Agreement at Scotts Moor (dated 25th July 2001). This letter also informed us that the Environment Agency were still also engaged in this matter. In view of this, we require your investigation as to the following:
On the 29th January 2007 and the 5th March 2007 we informed North Devon District Council about heavy plant and ground work and the tipping of large amounts of hardcore within the area of the designated Flood Plain, together with ground photographs.
Subsequently in the continued absence of any information to this Group, we wrote to the Agency at Exeter on the 16th July 2007 which gave a summary of events and requested the Agency's position regarding this matter.
As of this date the Agency has failed to acknowledge or provide the information as requested in our letter of the 14th May 2008.
A. The authorative letter that proves Bradiford Water is now classed a Non-Main River
B. Any authority for the tipping of waste onto the flood plain/wildlife corridor at Scotts Moor.

We therefore should be obliged if you would provide this information to enable this Group to consider whether to re-engage with North Devon District Council on this matter.
