Representation Summary:
Any application would require a Preliminary Risk Assessment to assess the possible impact of contamination on water receptors.

Most canals are nutrient rich so further inputs of phosphates containing effluent are unwelcome. The site is therefore not desirable in terms of its impact on the water environment.
