Respondent: Environment Agency

The Environment Agency request that in order to protect vulnerable groundwater, development should avoid Source Protection Zones (SPZ) especially the most vulnerable SPZ1. In order for this to be ensured, we recommend that an extra criterion is added to The Preferred Strategy for Water Supply and Wastewater in Box 32 on page 118 related to the avoidance of SPZ1
Recommendation 12:
Box 32 on page 118 should include an extra criterion which should read: "(vi) Safeguarding groundwater quality by the avoidance of Source Protection Zone 1 as defined by the Environment Agency".
