  • 540 cubic metres an hour

  • 4,536,000 cubic metres a year
  • Period of abstraction – all year.

Further details are: This licence application is to dewater a quarry, the proposal is non-consumptive as water is moved from the quarry void to the adjacent wetland nature reserve, in partnership with the RSPB, and the reserve is in continuity with the sands and gravels. Therefore, all abstracted water is returned to the environment.
