Policy paper: River Arun internal drainage district (IDD)

Environment Agency

June 27
15:53 2024

Internal drainage boards (IDBs) are public bodies that manage water levels in some areas where there is a special need for drainage. We call these areas internal drainage districts (IDDs).

The Environment Agency inherited the administration of 6 IDDs in Sussex. Of these, 5 of the 6 IDDs have now been abolished. The remaining IDD is the River Arun. The Environment Agency will continue to act as the IDB until an alternative route forward can be determined with the stakeholders within the IDD.

If you would like more information on this or want to be involved, please contact the Arun IDB email riverarunidb@environment-agency.gov.uk.

This page has information on River Arun IDD and incudes:

  • planned maintenance programme
  • exercise of public rights for the annual accounts
  • annual governance and accountability return
  • annual internal audit report
  • annual governance statement
  • annual accounting statement
  • external auditor report and certificate
  • notice of conclusion of audit
  • section 48 notice

For some PDFs we have provided a HTML equivalent to meet the accessibility regulations.

For River Arun IDD content before 2022 please visit the National Archives.

If you require any further information please email enquiries@environment-agency.gov.uk.
