Representation Summary:
We welcome the requirement to limit water usage to 110 litres per head per day. In July 2021 Defra announced that South Staffs Water and Severn Trent Water’s supply regions are now considered to be in “serious water stress”. We agree with the recommendation in section 4.9 of the WCS for standards of water efficiency of 110 litres per head per day, which is reflected within Policy NB6. It should be highlighted however, that this requirement is a minimum only and developments that choose to go beyond this should be supported by the plan.
