Point 1c discusses the adoption of the optional higher water efficiency standards. The Housing standards review dictates that reduced water con-sumption was solely applicable to areas classed as water stressed. The Har-borough District Water Cycle Study (2015) highlights that only the eastern area of the district is under stress. Therefore, in order for the Policy to be in accordance with the NPPF paragraph 173 viability requirements, it should be deleted and made more specific to areas that it applies to. A blanket approach to water efficiency standards is not justified.
