Supports the strategic objectives.
Re: objectives 1, 2 and 3, site allocations must have regard to the SFRA. Use of previously developed land should be a priority. Contaminated sites must be remediated in accordance with PPS23.
Development must not encroach onto the flood zone. Re: objective 11, gypsy and traveller sites must be within Flood Zone 1. If located in rural areas, foul drainage provision must be investigated.
Supports objectives 13 & 15, Core Strategy should include policies directing all new development away from flood zones 2 and 3; a requirement for Surface Water Management Plans and for development to recognise the aims of WFD. All development in areas of flood risk should be sequentially tested and comply with PPS25. Supports Objective 17.

Surface water and foul elements will have to be separated. This would then enable the re-use of the 'clean' surface water element for water features, toilets etc.
Water consumption must be reduced by simple demand management measures and rainwater harvesting. This will reduce the carbon footprint throughout the water systemand the pressure on the sewage sytem.
Re: new rural housing, existing sewage works should be upgraded or new ones built. This would allow new technology and the separation of clean surface water and foul effluent as well (subject to Consent to Discharge).
