Provision made under the Land Drainage Act 1991 Chapter II
item 40 empowers the North Level District Internal Drainage
Board to make a drainage rate in respect of agricultural land
and buildings.
The full details regarding the internal drainage board and
its function are written into the Land Drainage Act 1991 Chapter
59, a copy of which can be obtained from HMSO.
To summarise, the act empowers the Internal Drainage Board
to levy a
|
|
|
| |
rate against the occupiers of land, which could be used for
agricultural/horticultural purposes, including grazing. The
rate levied is set each year at the January meeting of the North
Level District Internal Drainage Board and is available for
public inspection. The actual demand is sent out during September
and applies to the period of 1 April that year until the 31
March the following year. The Act also empowers the Board to
levy the rate due for the whole of the year against an occupier
who has occupied the land for any part of the year.
The
rate is calculated by assessing a uniform amount per pound
throughout the district based on the annual value of the agricultural
land or agricultural buildings in respect of which it is made.
Further specific details can be found in part IV section 41
of the Act.
