Water resources planning guideline update
We want your feedback on the Environment Agency’s proposed update of the water resources planning guideline for England.
Due to the high volume of detailed responses received and current resource constraints within the team, we have needed to extend the timeline for completing the consultation review. We are now working to finalise the analysis and prepare our response by 27 March. We appreciate stakeholders’ patience as we ensure all feedback is fully considered and accurately reflected in the updated water resources planning guideline.
This consultation is about the Environment Agency’s proposed updates to the water resources planning guideline.
The consultation information explains:
- why we are consulting and what we aim to achieve
- the questions we have for you
- how you can respond
The consultation asks you to consider whether the guideline allows water companies to produce plans with secure and resilient water supplies which protect the environment.
