Chapman, M L (2011) First ever appeal under section 110 of the uk water resources act 1991. Proceedings of Institution of Civil Engineers: Management, Procurement and Law, 164(4), pp. 203-208. ISSN 17514304
Abstract
This paper presents details of a 5-year battle against drainage authorities, which were opposed to the restoration of an argae (Welsh for flood embankment) to protect a grade II* listed Elizabethan half-timbered building as well as farm buildings, access road and agricultural land from the floodwaters of the River Severn. By the first ever appeal undertaken in accordance with section 110 of the Water Resources Act 1991 they were found to have acted not only unreasonably but also unlawfully.

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
