- The Council will:
- work with Thames Water in relation to local wastewater infrastructure requirements and support wastewater treatment infrastructure investment to accommodate London’s growth and climate change impacts;
- promote improvements to water supply infrastructure, particularly within the defined Sustainable Development Locations, to contribute to security of supply in a timely, efficient and sustainable manner taking energy consumption into account;
- promote the protection and improvement of the water environment in line with the Thames River Basin Management Plan, taking account of catchment plans;
- support the protection of CSTW as a key infrastructure asset, from the risks of flooding;
- promote public access to the Thames Path through CSTW and the conservation and enhancement of the Crossness Beam Engine House, including the site and buildings within its curtilage, and seek to affect these by means of planning obligations in the event of substantial planning permissions being contemplated in the vicinity.
