Representation ID: 7285

Policy IN4 refers to development being permitted where it has access to an adequate water supply to the support the development and is supported.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Harborough District Local Plan Proposed Submission. The following comments are submitted on behalf of Anglian Water.
In relation to the next formal stages - I would wish to be notified of when the plan is submitted, when the inspector's report is published and the plan is adopted. In addition we would wish to reserve the right to appear in relation to the representations made regarding Policy GI5 (Local Green Spaces).
I would be grateful if you could confirm receipt of this response.
Policy H5: Housing density, mix and standards (page 67) - legally compliant, sound, compliant with duty to co-operate
Policy H5 refers to new housing being designed to meet the optional water efficiency standard (110 litres/per person/per day).
The Environment Agency in their document entitled 'Water Stressed Areas Final Classification (2013)' has advised the Secretary of State that the areas classified as 'Serious' in the final classification table should be designated as 'Areas of serious water stress'. The Anglian Water company area is considered to be such an area. Anglian Water is the water undertaker for part of Harborough District.
Therefore we would support the optional water efficiency standard being applied within Harborough District.
RT1: Provision of new retail uses (page 94) - legally compliant, sound, compliant with duty to co-operate
Market Harborough Allocations: We have no objection to the principle of development of the allocation of the Market Harborough sites for retail uses. The Submission Local Plan includes Policy IN4 (Water resources and services) which requires applicants to demonstrate that foulwater treatment and disposal exists or can be provided in time to serve the development. Similarly policy CC4 requires the use of SUDs on major development sites.
As the Local plan policies are intended to be read as a whole we do not consider that it is necessary to duplicate these requirements in this site specific policy.
RT4: Tourism and leisure (page 106) - legally compliant, sound, compliant with duty to co-operate
Land off St Mary's Road, Market Harborough: We have no objection to the principle of development of the allocation of the Market Harborough sites for leisure, entertainment and tourism uses. The Submission Local Plan includes Policy IN4 (Water resources and services) which requires applicants to demonstrate that foulwater treatment and disposal exists or can be provided in time to serve the development. Similarly policy CC4 requires the use of SUDs on major development sites.
As the Local plan policies are intended to be read as a whole we do not consider that it is necessary to duplicate these requirements in this site specific policy.
Policy GI5: Local Green Spaces (page 130) - legally compliant, unsound (justified, effective), compliant with duty to co-operate
The Local Green Space Designation is restrictive in that it significantly limits development which can come forward within the designated land.
There are existing sewers in Anglian Water's ownership within the designated local green space for Medbourne as identified on the Policies Map. Our concern is that the policy as drafted does not allow for development to enable continuing operation of existing water recycling infrastructure to serve our customers.
It is therefore proposed that the wording of the second paragraph of the policy be amended as follows:
'The construction of new buildings....Local Green Space. Utility infrastructure where the benefits override the potential impact on the designation'
Policy CC4: Sustainable Drainage (page 143) - legally compliant, sound, compliant with duty to co-operate
Anglian Water is supportive of the requirement for major developments to provide Sustainable Drainage Systems which will help to address sewer flooding and surface water flooding.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Harborough District Local Plan Proposed Submission. The following comments are submitted on behalf of Anglian Water.
In relation to the next formal stages - I would wish to be notified of when the plan is submitted, when the inspector's report is published and the plan is adopted. In addition we would wish to reserve the right to appear in relation to the representations made regarding Policy GI5 (Local Green Spaces).
I would be grateful if you could confirm receipt of this response.
Policy H5: Housing density, mix and standards (page 67) - legally compliant, sound, compliant with duty to co-operate
Policy H5 refers to new housing being designed to meet the optional water efficiency standard (110 litres/per person/per day).
The Environment Agency in their document entitled 'Water Stressed Areas Final Classification (2013)' has advised the Secretary of State that the areas classified as 'Serious' in the final classification table should be designated as 'Areas of serious water stress'. The Anglian Water company area is considered to be such an area. Anglian Water is the water undertaker for part of Harborough District.
Therefore we would support the optional water efficiency standard being applied within Harborough District.
RT1: Provision of new retail uses (page 94) - legally compliant, sound, compliant with duty to co-operate
Market Harborough Allocations: We have no objection to the principle of development of the allocation of the Market Harborough sites for retail uses. The Submission Local Plan includes Policy IN4 (Water resources and services) which requires applicants to demonstrate that foulwater treatment and disposal exists or can be provided in time to serve the development.

Policy GI5: Local Green Spaces (page 130) - legally compliant, unsound (justified, effective), compliant with duty to co-operate
The Local Green Space Designation is restrictive in that it significantly limits development which can come forward within the designated land.
There are existing sewers in Anglian Water's ownership within the designated local green space for Medbourne as identified on the Policies Map. Our concern is that the policy as drafted does not allow for development to enable continuing operation of existing water recycling infrastructure to serve our customers.
It is therefore proposed that the wording of the second paragraph of the policy be amended as follows:
'The construction of new buildings....Local Green Space. Utility infrastructure where the benefits override the potential impact on the designation'
Policy CC4: Sustainable Drainage (page 143) - legally compliant, sound, compliant with duty to co-operate
