Planning for reservoirs streamlined
Paisley Daily Express
|May 29, 2025
THE UK Government has stepped in to take control of the planning process for two major new reservoirs as it warns UK water supplies are under threat.
-
Environment secretary Steve Reed has designated two new reservoir projects in East Anglia and Lincolnshire as “nationally significant” - escalating them from local planning to central government.
The move aims to streamline and fast-track the delivery of the two new reservoirs, the first for more than 30 years, to improve water resources for more than three quarters of a million homes in some of England’s most water-stressed areas and unlock the building of new homes.
