Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Water Resources (Licences) Regulations 1965. They are occasioned by the amendment of s.54(3) of the Water Resources Act 1963 by the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads Act 1988. That sub-section requires regulations to be made providing for notice to be given to, and allowing representations to be made by, National Park planning authorities about applications for licences to abstract or impound water which may concern them. The 1988 Act amendment extends the obligation to make regulations to apply to the Broads Authority and the Broads. These Regulations amend the existing regulations accordingly.
