I suspect the proposed enhanced groundwater source is in Bishops Waltham. Although you argue this is not the case, this has an adverse effect on the North Pond and I would not wish for you to extract more water from that source. Whereas I recognise that the pond reaches a level lower than the water table every Summer I think it is unacceptable to go through whole Winters when the water does not return to the pond as this impoverishes the wildlife.
