NRW have clearly decided to adopt a confrontational position rather than consultative one...whilst they agree there is no pollution caused by the de-watering, they have concerns over bats and otters using the old workings, which is fair enough. Instead of helping Alba find a solution to their concerns they'd rather sit on their hands and engage in an appeals process, wasting time and money but giving them kudos and something more for them to do...got a bad smell of political intervention IMO.
