  • Abstraction Licence Application Decision Statement Template
    DECISION STATEMENT ABSTRACTION LICENCE APPLICATION Affinity Water Limited Application number: NPS/WR/027731 Licence number: 28/39/28/0480 EA Area: Hertfordshire North London Date of Application: 13 September 2019 Decision Date: 06 July 2021 Applicant details: Affinity Water Limited Tamblin Way Hatfield Hertfordshire AL10 9EZ 1. Summary of the proposal: Affinity Water Limited applied to vary their full abstraction licence 28/39/28/0480, which permits abstraction from the Chalk groundwater aquifer for the purpose of public water supply across nine sites in the Colne Valley, collectively referred to as the ‘Blackford Group’. The application comprised of two distinct components: A. Renewal of a time-limited annual volume (annual aggregate) which permits an increase in the annual abstraction rate across the group from 29,200,000 to 32,120,000 cubic metres. This variation was originally granted in 2003. This component has been renewed up to 31 March 2025 to align with the end of the seventh Asset Management Period (AMP7), during which alternative supply options will be identified if further investigations under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) find that this abstraction is having an adverse impact on the Chalk groundwater body or dependent surface waterbodies. B. Variation [increase] in the peak hourly and daily abstraction rates at West Hyde and Batchworth sites of abstraction, to mitigate a potential reduction in supply from other sites within the Blackford Group as a result of construction works associated with HS2. This proposal forms part of a wider strategy put forward by Affinity, which includes the variation granted to the Watford Group licence 28/39/28/0270 on 21 May 2021.
