There is no definition of low-hazard reservoirs. There is a definition in the Reservoirs Act of high-risk reservoirs, but it would be helpful for the permitted development rights to be supplemented by amendments to the Reservoirs Act that demonstrate that there is a streamlined, simplified procedure for enabling other reservoirs to go ahead. We have not had big reservoirs for 30 years, but we have had smaller-scale reservoirs in the intervening period, and we should have more.
