Anglian Water Services Limited has applied to the Environment Agency for a licence.
The Environment Agency is giving notice of this application in accordance with Section 37 of the Water Resources Act 1991 and Regulation 6 of the Water Resources (Abstraction and Impounding) Regulations 2006.
The following application has been made to replace on the same terms an existing licence which is due to expire on 31 December 2022:

Source of water, location and National Grid Reference: Groundwater in Essex at TL 75 25; The licence authorising the abstraction of 5,000 cubic metres per day, 1,825,000 cubic metres per year. This licence is subject to an aggregate with licence 8/37/31/G/0133 of 33,000,000 cubic metres in a five year period (with no change in quantities). The water will be abstracted all year and used for public water supply.
