3.4.4 Surface water abstractions
The Envirocheck report shows the following licensed surface water abstractions: • Surface water abstraction (from a stream) for spray irrigation, licensed to G H and J G Paul at grid reference 6281 2413 (licence number 7/35/10/*s/077);
• Surface water abstraction for spray irrigation from Marsh Drain, Notcutts at grid reference 6258 2479 (7/35/10/*s/067);
licensed to
• Surface water abstraction licensed to Mr G W Pipe at grid reference 6195 2491 (licence number 7/35/10/**/023); and
• Licence for surface water abstraction, held by Suffolk County Council for remedial river/wetland support at 6123 2490 (licence number An/035/0008/005.
In general terms a private water supply (PWS) is a ‘non-mains’ supply. Its source can be surface water or groundwater e.g. a well, borehole, spring or
rainwater collection
system. PWSs are usually found in remote areas of the country, where a mains supply is not feasible or practicable. The Private Water Regulations 2009 requires local authorities to keep a record of all PWSs in their area of jurisdiction.
This issue will be further assessed within the Water Resources and Flood Risk assessment for this project (Volume 3, Chapter 22).
3.5 History of landfall, Preferred Onshore Cable Corridor and Converter Station Refined Area of Search
The history of the area has been determined from an assessment of historical maps available within the Envirocheck report. Where possible, historical features have been tied in with features still present on current mapping or aerial photography.
3.5.1 Landfall
The oldest mapping, from 1884 to 1888 shows the area to be largely put to agricultural use, with field boundaries, drains and some small dwellings. An old sand pit is marked at approximate grid reference 6348 2390. There is no significant difference to 1957 or 1975 map editions.
The map edition from 1990 to 1993 shows an electricity substation just north of Middle Barns.
It should be noted that the presence of a military base is not shown on historical mapping for security reasons. However, the area formerly used as the RAF radar station can be seen on current aerial photography and current mapping, with hardstanding tracks and helicopter pads and a number of small buildings. It is understood this facility was constructed some time prior to 1937, at which date it was operated by the RAF.
Due to the military history of this area, it is possible that unexploded ordnance may be present.
