Description of Activity
This report is part of series of Environmental Assessment Reports which catalogue the set of environmental assessments of the River Severn to River Thames Transfer (STT) Strategic Resource Option (SRO) through RAPID Gate 2. The reports set out the environmental assessments, which will in turn support regulatory assessment requirements proportionate to the Gated stage. The scope and approach to the environmental evidence provided in these reports was set out following the RAPID Gate 1 submission, which was assessed by the Regulators’ Alliance for Progressing Infrastructure Development (RAPID). RAPID issued a guidance document in April 2022 to describe the Gate 2 process and set out expectations to ensure that environmental assessment methodologies were consistent with all relevant legislation and guidance and follow best practice.This report was produced as the part of the process set out by RAPID for the development of the Strategic Resource Options (SROs). This is a regulatory gated process allowing there to be control and appropriate scrutiny on the activities that are undertaken by the water companies to investigate and develop efficient solutions on behalf of customers to meet future drought resilience challenges.
This report provides the assessment for the Gate 2 Fish topic (Client: Thames Water Utilities Ltd, Severn Trent, United Utilities and Jacobs).
