The variation applied for is as follows:
- to increase the daily authorised quantity from 900 cubic metres to 1,200 cubic metres
- the removal of an aggregate condition that currently restricts abstraction under this licence and two other licences to 53,430 cubic metres per year - removing this aggregate condition will mean that 53,430 cubic metres per year may be abstracted in aggregate under licences 2/27/28/250/R01 and 2/27/24/481/R01 and an additional 53,430 cubic metres per year may be abstracted separately under licence NE/027/0024/063.
