New Local Plan
Representation ID: 3715
Received: 02/04/2019
Respondent: Essex and Suffolk Water (NWG)
We would like to reiterate our response from Question 1.4. We recognise the local plan is in its infancy and has not yet begun to allocate sites, but we would like to offer our support to the council by conducting a high level assessment using shape files which will identify assets crossing sites. This information will also help inform our asset investment plans which will ensure we fulfil our duty as the statutory water undertaker in the Borough. We are happy for the council to contact our planning team directly to discuss the file types we would require for this assessment to take place, if the council would like strengthen the evidence base.
