Policy RSL2 Housing Design – Severn Trent is supportive of this policy particularly the inclusion of
the wording ‘New housing development should include design features and measures to reduce the
impacts of climate change by increasing resilience to extreme weather events, including the
increased risk of river and surface water flooding. Applicants should be able to demonstrate that
their proposals are water efficient and that unless not reasonably practicable the design includes
water efficiency and re-use measures ’ and the inclusion of the supporting text in paragraph 5.1.17.
