The Environment Agency has submitted its long-awaited response to the Shropshire Council plans for the controversial road.
The Environment Agency says it has concerns about the potential impact of construction of the viaduct.
It comes after a lengthy delay in the EA submitting its opinion on the plan – one of the major reasons that the application has still not been considered by a planning committee, despite original expectations for a decision before the end of 2021. Mr Davies's letter to the council says that the EA's concerns centre on the potential impact on Shrewsbury's drinking supplies from piling work for foundations for the Shelton Rough River Severn Viaduct, and the drainage system on the planned Holyhead Roundabout.
He adds:"With respect to spillage risk to groundwater and public water supply during operation, there could be irreversible/significant impact." Mr Davies is critical of the council's work to set out the potential impact of construction for the viaduct, contained within its Environmental Impact Assessment .
