AWS agrees that developers should demonstrate in liaison with infrastructure providers that infrastructure, required to support new homes, services and jobs, can be brought forward in a timely and phased way. We welcome part c. of the policy and its focus on capacity being available ahead of occupation. The policy is effective in that it seeks collaboration on phasing and implementation between developers, regulators and water sector infrastructure providers.

AWS welcomes the Councils support for the detailed business case to deliver additional WRC capacity at Harborough. More broadly AWS would welcome the Council’s support as part of our challenge to Ofwat through the CMA the AMP8 settlement to ensure that AWS has an increase in water sector investment for this AMP (2025-30). For sites MH1, MH2 and MH3 AWS agrees with paragraph 4.55 that the developers should jointly produce a Joint Infrastructure Framework, including wastewater investment, and provide this with applications submitted to the Council. We agree that this will require detailed pre-application guidance from AWS and the Environment Agency.

On paragraph 4.58 AWS suggests that to be positively prepared the text could include reference to the need for planning conditions or s106 agreements to ensure utilities infrastructure is in place prior to the occupation of new development.

The 105 homes at the HB1 Husbands Bosworth site will need to come forward after 2030 in order for AWS to secure funding from Ofwat and support by the Environment Agency to increase capacity at the WRC for AMP9 (2030-35).

On the Kibworth allocations the WRC has capacity to serve the 475 new homes and were the 3.1ha of employment space generates domestic type foul water flows rather than trade effluent this is likely to be capable of being managed using the existing Kibworth WRC capacity without the need for additional investment. AWS agrees that the management of surface water should follow the drainage hierarchy and not utilise the public sewer network.

AWS notes that some 1700 homes are planned across three sites in Market Harborough along with 4.9 ha of employment sites. We welcome the specific reference to Flood Risk and surface water management, which should not be directed to the public sewer network and instead by managed using SuDS.

The additional 100 homes across two sites in Great Bowden will require the utilisation of SuDS to eliminate surface water flows to the public sewer and so effectively manage the design and operation of additional capacity at the Harborough WRC.

AWS supports the masterplan approach including part 3.g. and coordinating infrastructure provision and part 3.l. surface water and SuDS provision, maintenance and management. AWS suggests that paragraph 5.27 should include wastewater provision, not least as water quality and biodiversity referenced in the text is partly determined by the reduction of pollution risks from wastewater treatment capacity being in place.
