Consultation 1 DEFA Fisheries

From: Ward, John To: DEFA, Planning Cc: "[email protected]" Subject: FW: Planning Application: 20/00715/b Date: 08 September 2020 08:35:50

Dear Planning,

This planning application has been checked by Fisheries Officers. I can confirm that DEFA, Fisheries have no concerns in relation to this development provided that there is no adverse effect on the adjacent watercourse. This is due to the nature of the nearby watercourse (ditch) which is not known to contain fish populations.

As the proposed works are in close proximity to the watercourse, precautions will be needed to reduce the possibility of harmful materials such as concrete or washings entering the waterway.

Best wishes,

John.
