NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR CONSENT IN PURSUANCE OF SCHEDULE 10

Notice is hereby given, in accordance with Schedule 10 of the Water Resources Act 1991, as amended by the Environment Act 1995, that an application has been made to the Environment Agency by Anglian Water Services Limited for consent to discharge sewage effluent. The application is for a consent to discharge up to a maximum of 1,494 cubic metres per day of sewage effluent under storm conditions from St Ives Road CSO, Papworth Everard, into an unnamed ditch leading to West Brook at National Grid Ref TL 2805 6356.
