CC6: Water Supply and Sewerage Infrastructure
Planning permission will only be granted for developments where it can be demonstrated that:
- Adequate water supply is available, or can be provided, in time to serve the development and existing water resources, and will be safeguarded from the potential impacts of development;
- Foul flows produced by the development will be drained separately from surface water run off to an agreed point of connection to a public foul sewer or, for non mains drainage proposals, where there would be no detrimental impact on the environment; and
- Foul sewers and sewage treatment facilities (of adequate design and capacity) are available to meet the demand created by new development or, where they are not available, can be provided in time to serve the development to ensure that the environment and the amenity of local residents are not adversely affected.
In accordance with Planning Policy Guidance, when there is a capacity constraint and improvements in off-site infrastructure are not programmed, planning permission will only be granted where the appropriate infrastructure improvements to the satisfaction of the relevant water and sewerage undertaker will be completed prior to occupation of the development.
Development which would overload available facilities and create or exacerbate problems of flooding or pollution will not be permitted.
