Water abstraction and impounding licensing in England: changes to the regulatory framework
Seeking views on our plans to move water abstraction and impounding licensing into the Environmental Permitting Regulations regime.
Detail
We want to know what you think of our plans to move the regulation of water abstraction and impounding licensing into the Environmental Permitting Regulations regime.
These changes will give businesses and other licence holders who abstract water, access to a more streamlined, modernised service.
The changes are part of our Water Abstraction Plan 2017.
