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.

Two applications have been received; one to transfer the ownership of licence serial number 7/35/3/GS/75 from A W Mortier (Farms) Limited to NNB Generation Company (SZC) Ltd and one to vary the licence. The licence authorises the abstraction of water from a groundwater and surfacewater fed reservoir at Leison-cum-Sizewell, Suffolk.

The applicant has also applied to update the abstraction point to National Grid Reference TM 46103 63721 and add the following abstraction purposes: Dust Suppression, Process Water and General Washing.

The abstraction lies within the Yox and Minsmere catchment and the East Suffolk Abstraction Licensing Strategy area.
