NOTICE OF PROPOSALS TO VARY CERTAIN LICENCES TO ABSTRACT WATER

Take notice that the Environment Agency (the Agency), in pursuance of section 52 of the Water Resources Act 1991, has formulated proposals for varying the licences listed in the Schedule below to abstract water from the respective inland waters or underground strata at the respective National Grid References and at the respective locations referred to within the said Schedule. The proposal in each case is to vary the licences by extending the existing date of expiry to a new date of expiry (the “common end-date”) for all relevant abstraction licences in the Shropshire Middle Severn catchment. It is proposed that the existing expiry date be varied to 31 March 2015. No other changes will be made to the relevant licences as a result of this proposal. The proposal is being made as part of the implementation of the Agency’s new catchment abstraction management strategies (CAMS). The proposal will enable these licences to be considered for future renewal in accordance with the strategy for the catchment, and at the same time as all other time limited licences in the same circumstances.
