The Environment Agency is applying to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

The expired licence permitted all year abstraction of 4,285,000 cubic metres per year from six chalk boreholes for the purpose of providing river support, known as the Lodes Granta Groundwater Support Scheme. The National Grid References (NGR) of the six boreholes are:

  • TL 5759 4252

  • TL 6254 5918
  • TL 5876 6135
  • TL 6467 6596
  • TL 6731 6680

The application is for a new licence on the same terms as the previous licence.
