Who do I need to get consent from?

Question:
Who do I need to get consent from?
Answer:

If you wish to undertake certain types of work on a watercourse then you need permission from the appropriate body. This depends on whether the watercourse is classed as a ‘main river’ or an ‘ordinary watercourse’.

Works affecting an ordinary watercourse may require consent from Staffordshire County Council or possibly the Sow and Penk Internal Drainage Board if your works are in the Stafford Area.

If the watercourse is classed as a main river you need to apply for consent from the Environment Agency for any works that you propose to carry out within eight metres of the top of the bank.
