Representation Summary:
This policy is considered unnecessary given it seeks to go further than current Building Regulations and given the Future Homes Standard which is due to be implemented in 2025. Building regulations require all new dwellings to achieve a mandatory level of water efficiency of 125 litres per day per person, which is a higher standard than that achieved by the existing housing stock. This mandatory standard represents an effective demand management measure and no robust and proportionate evidence has been provided to justify the Optional Technical Housing Standard.
