DM29: On-Site Management of Waste Water and Water Supply
- The Council will seek to ensure that there is adequate surface water, foul drainage and sewerage treatment capacity to serve all existing and new development. All proposals for new development will be required to:
- Demonstrate that the local public sewer network has adequate capacity to serve the existing and proposed development, or where such capacity does not exist, provide for suitable alternative arrangements for discharging water;
- Ensure the separation of surface and foul water systems, including by investigating and rectifying any identified misconnections; and
- Implement sustainable drainage systems, in line with Policy DM25.
- The Council will give preference to mains foul drainage and will seek to restrict the use of non-mains drainage for foul water disposal, particularly in Source Protection Zones, in line with Environment Agency guidance. Where non-mains drainage is proposed for the disposal of foul water, a foul drainage assessment will be required to ensure the most sustainable drainage option will be implemented.
- All proposals for new development will be required to:
- Demonstrate that there is adequate water supply infrastructure capacity both on and off site to serve the development without adversely impacting on existing users; and
- Make provision for the installation and management of measures for the efficient use of mains water.
- All proposals for new residential development should be designed to meet the London Plan target for mains water consumption.
