OW7: SEWERAGE DISPOSAL AND WINDSOR SEWAGE TREATMENT WORKS
Development will be supported if the sewer network can accommodate the additional demand for sewerage disposal, both from the development itself and from permitted developments in the area where this can be accommodated within the sewer network, either in its existing form or through planned improvements to the system, in advance of the construction or occupation of the development.
Developers should be encouraged to engage with the appropriate water resources management organisation at the earliest opportunity, as indicated in paragraph 26 of the NPPF (February 2019), (or subsequent updates) to evaluate:
- the development’s demand for sewage/waste water treatment and network infrastructure both on and off site can be met;
- the surface water drainage requirements and flood risk of the development both on and off site; and
- the development’s demand for water supply and network infrastructure both on and off site.
The expansion of Windsor Sewage Treatment Works will be supported if the development does not cause harm to the significance of the Kingsbury Scheduled Monument or other archaeological remains (which might be either directly or by being within their setting) unless such harm is shown to be unavoidable, has been minimised or mitigated, and is justified by being outweighed by the public benefits of the development.
