    Charges in 2021-22 and CMA Redeterminations

    Centre City Tower, 7 Hill Street, Birmingham B5 4UA 21 Bloomsbury Street, London WC1B 3HF By email Anglian Water, Bristol Water, Northumbrian Water and Yorkshire Water Business retailers NAVs MOSL CCW Other parties 8 January 2021 Dear stakeholder Charges in 2021-22 and CMA redeterminations This letter sets out our view on the appropriate approach to making adjustments to normal charging arrangements to support the implementation of the CMA redeterminations for the four disputing companies. We are setting this out now to facilitate company statements on significant changes in charges which are due to be published on 11 January 2021 and wholesale charges which are due to be published on 13 January 2021. Four companies: Anglian Water, Bristol Water, Northumbrian Water and Yorkshire Water have asked the CMA for a redetermination of their price controls for the 2020-25 period. Following a request from three of the disputing companies for amendments to the charging rules to allow implementation of the CMA’s redetermination, my letter of 21 December 2020 consulted on the practical consequences and impact of making an accommodation under our normal charging rules with respect to three options for the implementation of the CMA’s redetermination: Implementation of changes over 4 years from 1 April 2021, which three of the four disputing companies (Anglian Water, Bristol Water and Northumbrian Water) suggested would be possible if the CMA issued its redetermination no later than the week commencing Monday, 8 February 2021 and Ofwat allowed them to publish 2021-22 charges no later than Friday, 19 February 2021. Implementation of changes during the 2021-22 charging year, which would allow charges to change during the charging year (potentially after six months) to reflect any differences in the price limits that the CMA sets such that the CMA’s price limits are smoothed over 3.5 years.

    Order Decision Inquiry held on 28 August 2019 Site visit on 28 August 2019 by Paul Freer BA(Hons) LLM PhD MRTPI an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Decision date: 25 September 2019 Order Ref: ROW/3211944 • This Order is made under Section 53(2)(a) of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. It is known as the Restricted Byway No 15.50/24 Billy Lane, Great Timble Modification Order 2010. • The Order is dated 2 February 2010. It proposes to modify the definitive map and statement for the area by adding a Restricted Byway linking Back Lane with Main Street as shown on the Order map and described in the Order schedule. • There were thirteen objections outstanding at the commencement of the Inquiry. There were also four representations in support of the Order outstanding at that time. Summary of Decision: The Order is confirmed. Background to the Order 1. The application was submitted by Washburn Parish Council on 18 August 2005 and initially sought the addition of the Order route as a byway open to all traffic (BOAT). The application was submitted after the deadline for such applications of 20 January 2005 established by the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 (2006 Act). Accordingly, North Yorkshire County Council, as the Order-Making Authority (OMA), determined to record the Order route as a restricted byway. 2. The effect of section 67(1) of the 2006 Act is to extinguish public rights of way for mechanically propelled vehicles unless certain defined exceptions apply.

    RIVER QUALITY SURVEY NATIONAL RIVERS AUTHORITY NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 PART 1 REA CH CLASSIFICA TION FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS VERSION 1: AUGUST 1995 GQA ASSESSMENT 1994 \ NORTHUMBRIA & YORKSHIRE REGION To allow the development of a National method of evaluating water quality, the rivers in all the NRA regions of England and Wales have been divided into reaches, which are numbered using a coding system based on the hydrological reference for each river basin. Each classified reach then has a chemistry sample point assigned to it and these sample points are regularly monitored for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved oxygen (DO) and Total Ammonia. The summary statistics calculated from the results of this sampling are sent to a National Centre where the GQA Grades are calculated. A National report is produced and each region can then produce more detailed reports on the quality of their own rivers. For Northumbria and Yorkshire Region, this Regional Report has been divided into two parts. PARTI: REACH CLASSIFICATION This report contains a listing of the river reaches within the region, with their start and finish grid reference, approximate length, and the 1990 and 1994 GQA class for each reach. The reference code of the chemistry sample point used to classify the reach is also included. A sample point may classify several reaches if there are no major discharges or tributaries dividing those reaches. The sample point used to classify a reach may change and the classification is therefore calculated using the summary statistics for each sample point that has been used over the past three years.
