The second issue I wish to raise is drainage. In particular, I wish to understand what the policy rationale is for allowing works under the environmental impact assessment regulations in respect of agriculture without the requirement for screening or permission for up to 15 ha of agricultural land, that is, drainage without any form of permission. Is there a policy rationale and if so, can we see it?
