Anglian Water Services Limited as the statutory body responsible for water services within the application area. The proposed scheme will affect assets belonging to Anglian Water and therefore Protective Provisions in respect of these assets are required. There has been consultation between the Applicant and Anglian Water regarding the wording of the DCO, with particular reference to the Protective Provisions set out in Schedule 14 Part 1 – ‘Protection of Electricity, Gas, Water and Sewerage Undertakers’ and the Discharge of Requirements set out in Schedule 2. Anglian Water seeks to be a consultee under Schedule 2 Part 1 - Requirements in respect of the Operational Drainage Plan. We note that such provision has been included within the Draft DCO and therefore Anglian Water is content with this wording in the Draft DCO to stand. Unfortunately, at the current time, the protective provisions are not agreed and Anglian Water has significant concerns regarding their content. We hope that following further discussions in this regard a revised Schedule 14, Part 1 that is specific to Anglian Water can be submitted to the Examining Authority. It is hoped that the Protective Provsions can be agreed and that all matters between Anglian Water and the Applicant can be summaries in a Statement of Common Ground in due course.
