CF12 Water Supply

Development will not be permitted where:

  1. it would have a detrimental effect on the quality or yield of water supply; or
  2. it would prevent or reduce replenishment of groundwater aquifers; or,
  3. it would have an adverse impact on the flora, fauna (including fisheries interests) and amenity of water courses and other habitats whose nature conservation value is dependent on maintaining water levels;
  4. it would represent an unacceptable risk to the quality of groundwater resource, unless appropriate measures are taken to adequately protect those resources.
