Regulatory Liaison and Negotiation
Our unique selling point is our tenacity with regulators. We can’t guarantee to get our own way, but we can guarantee that where there is just cause, we will leave no stone unturned getting the regulators to fully justify their position. We are renowned for finding solutions where others cannot.
We have unparalleled in-house experience of complex abstraction licensing scenarios and have secured abstraction licences for clients in some of the most environmentally sensitive catchments, including catchments otherwise ‘closed’ to new abstractions. We specialise in technical negotiation with the Environment Agency, especially when only a short timescale license is available.
Our regulatory services include:
 | Abstraction Licence Applications |
| Water Resource & Abstraction Impact Assessments |
| Environmental (Discharge) Permit Applications |
| Annual Abstraction Returns |
| Private Water Supplies - Risk Assessments |
| Licence Trading |
| Licence & Permit Variations & Renewals |
| Negotiation with Water Undertakers |
