The Water Resources (Succession to Licences) Regulations 1969
These regulations are made by the Minister of Housing and Local Government, in consultation with the Secretary of State for Wales, principally under section 32(3) of the Water Resources Act 1963. They confer rights in respect of the licensed abstraction of water on persons who (in circumstances where section 32(1) of the Act does not apply) become the occupiers of land formerly occupied by the holder of a licence to abstract water for use on the land.
