Abstract
The first ever appeal under section 110 of the UK Water Resources Act 1991 took place in 2009. The appeal was against a refusal by the Environment Agency to give consent to an application made under section 109 of the Act for the repair and the reinstatement of a flood embankment at Trewern Hall in the Severn valley. The agency was found to have acted unreasonably and unlawfully in determining the application, and there was a full award of costs against it. This paper describes the litigation that followed the appeal and the granting of unconditional planning consent by the local planning authority in 2010.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
