The move means central government has taken control of the planning process from local authorities for two reservoirs in East Anglia and Lincolnshire, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said Wednesday. The development is part of a broader plan to build nine new reservoirs to supply water to 1.5 million new homes in Britain by the end of the current parliament.
