August Licence Holder Meeting

On 1 August 2025, we hosted an informative Sustainable Abstraction licence holder event at Norwich City Football Club.

The event brought together groundwater licence holders who have been notified they are likely to be impacted by upcoming changes required under The Broads Sustainable Abstraction Plan.

Licence holders heard from the Environment Agency, Natural England and Norfolk Environment, Farming and Food who delivered insightful presentations, sparking thoughtful conversations and providing valuable updates around the development of The Broads Sustainable Abstraction Plan.

It was a great opportunity for licence holders to connect with specialists to discuss the future of water management and the environment in The Broads, to ask questions, and to better understand how and when changes could impact them.

This was just the beginning. Over the coming months, the Environment Agency will be having more in-depth, one-to-one conversations with licence holders to ensure everyone is engaged in this process and has the opportunity to discuss their circumstances in detail. We’ll be contacting them soon to arrange these meetings.
