Anglian Water is the statutory undertaker for water and sewerage services in the application area. Jacobs UK Limited is supporting Anglian Water as an Interested Party in this examination. We note that the applicant is seeking to identify where Anglian Water assets are impacted by the proposed scheme. The process for seeking that information is set out in Anglian Water’s Scoping response at page 2 of the Appendix 2 of the March 2022 Scoping Opinion including contacts for progressing investigations. That Scoping response also seeks to ensure that the project sets out any impacts on Rutland Water including socio-economic impacts. In terms of Protective Provisions, we note that paragraph 3.3.5 of the Explanatory Memorandum states that the applicant is seeking to agree Protective Provisions with Statutory Undertakers. Schedule 15 Part 1 contains generic Protective Provisions for utility providers which do not reflect the model Protective Provisions that Anglian Water has previously shared with the applicant. In addition, with respect to Schedule 16 of the same draft order, Anglian Water should be a consultee for any Local Planning Authority discharge of requirements in relation to drainage plans and surface water discharge. Any impacted Anglian Water assets need to be identified and either diverted or protected. We note the Wilsthorpe Borehole is just outside the order limits and the DCO documentation confirms there is no planned disruption to the access from Carlby Road. Anglian Water has contacted the applicant separately with the intention of agreeing a Statement of Common Ground.
