  • (a) that the plaintiff could have carried out permissible alterations in the means whereby he abstracted water from the source of supply in question; and
  • (b) that, if he had carried out such alterations, the abstraction (or, as the case may be, the obstruction or impeding of the flow of the inland water) authorised by the licence to which the action relates would not have derogated from his protected right under that Act.
  • (3) In sub-paragraph (2) above “permissible alterations”—
