  "text": "(1) Where an application for protection zone consent is made in accordance with the provisions of these Regulations the Agency shall—\n(a) within 7 days following receipt of the application send a copy of it to every local authority whose area includes the catchment control site or lies downstream of it and to every water undertaker who abstracts water from a downstream source of supply;\n(b) as soon as practicable, acknowledge receipt of the application in writing;\n(c) notify the applicant as soon as practicable if in the opinion of the Agency the application fails to meet the requirements of regulation 5, giving its reasons.\n(2) The Agency shall be entitled, upon an application for protection zone consent, to disregard the provisions of paragraph (1)(a) if it proposes to grant the consent applied for and considers that the carrying on of the controlled activity in question is unlikely to give rise to an appreciable risk of pollution of any inland waters at any point where such waters are abstracted for the purposes of public water supply.\n(3) The requirement of paragraph (1)(a) shall not apply insofar as it would require the disclosure of any information which is not to be included in a register by virtue of section 191A or 191B of the Act (exclusion from registers of information affecting national security and of certain confidential information).",
