Case reference EIR2024/00042

Published 15 January 2024

Request

I am currently determining a small sewage discharge permit in Gorsley, Herefordshire and wanted to check if there were any drinking water abstractions in the area. The centre of the site is SO6724826104.

Our base maps indicate 2 wells listed and a spring within 150m west of the site boundary.

Could you please provide information on any private abstractions within 250m for this point.

The Service Area have advised it is their understanding that there are known private groundwater abstractions (from this council's register) within 250m of the subject site.

Please note that the National Grid Reference may be the location of the property which is not necessarily in many cases the same as the water source which may be located at some distance.

This information is based on that currently readily available to the County of Herefordshire District Council. It is given on the strict understanding that neither the Council, nor any of its Officers, warrant the accuracy of this information, or accept any liability whatsoever for any error omission therein, or any loss or damage arising from the interpretation or use of the information supplied. The Enquirer should rely on the results of their own investigations.
