Details of the application
Breedon Trading 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 application is to vary licence serial number AN/029/0004/008, which authorises the abstraction of water from underground strata comprising glaciolacustrine deposits at Kettleby Quarry, Brigg for the purpose of transferring it without intervening use to the Skegger Beck at National Grid Reference TA 04666 09051.

Additionally, the variation includes adding a new discharge reach between the NGRs: TA 04838 08595 and TA 04361 08097.
The application also requests an increase in the existing licensed abstraction quantities to:
-
42 litres per second
-
151 cubic metres an hour
-
1,812 cubic metres a day
-
538,290 cubic metres a year
