Regulation 4(2) of the Nitrate Pollution Prevention Regulations 2015 (\u201cthe Regulations\u201d) requires the Secretary of State to monitor the nitrate concentration in freshwaters over a prescribed period. The nitrate must be measured in order to identify water that is affected by pollution (or could be if the controls provided by the Regulations are not applied), and then to identify land which drains into those waters and that contributes to its pollution. If necessary, such land may then be designated as a \u201cnitrate vulnerable zone\u201d (\u201cNVZ\u201d). 2. On 12 May 2025 the Secretary of State sent written notice to the Appellant under regulation 5(3)(b) of the Regulations that one or more of their relevant holdings falls wholly or partly within an area that the Secretary of State has identified as an NVZ. 3. The Regulations define \u201ca relevant holding\u201d as land and any associated buildings used for growing crops in soil, or rearing livestock for agricultural purposes, that fall wholly or partly in an NVZ. 4. The Appellant has appealed against the notice under regulation 6(2)(a) of the Regulations on the grounds that two fields have been included within the NVZ that do not drain into water which the Secretary of State has identified as polluted. This is known as a \u201cType A\u201d appeal. The Appellant stated that previous appeals had been made and upheld each time against the inclusion of the fields within the NVZ. 5. The Environment Agency has responded to the appeal on behalf of the Secretary of State. It confirms that the appeal is not opposed because the two fields identified by the Appellant do not drain to a polluted water. The evidence supplied by the Appellant had previously been reviewed by the Environment Agency and it was agreed that the land identified should be removed from the NVZ. 6. The Environment Agency considers that the designations made by the Secretary of State should be amended to remove the land identified by the Appellant in this appeal from \u201cNVZ ID number: G4\u201d. Given this concession, the appeal is allowed. 7. Pursuant to regulation 6(3) of the Regulations, where the Tribunal upholds an appeal on a Type A appeal the Secretary of State must treat the relevant part of the holding in respect of which the appeal is upheld as not draining into the water concerned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"kji-sep\" \/>\n<p class=\"kji-source-links\"><strong>Sources officielles :<\/strong> <a class=\"kji-source-link\" href=\"https:\/\/caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk\/ukftt\/grc\/2025\/1075\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">consulter la page source<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"kji-license-note\"><em>Open Justice Licence (The National Archives).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
