New Local Plan

Respondent: Essex and Suffolk Water (NWG)
We note the supporting text refers to the “increased use of sustainable technologies should also be incorporated wherever possible”. Essex and Suffolk Water actively promote water efficiency and we offer a discount to developers that design and build houses to promote a lower consumption of water. Essex and Suffolk Water shall waive the water infrastructure charge if evidence is provided to show a house is to be built to achieve a consumption of no more than 105 litres per person per day. This can be found in our charges scheme at: https://www.eswater.co.uk/developers/our-charges.aspx
We hope the council will seek to explicitly include a policy that will promote the use of technologies to reduce water consumption too.
