We note that the proposed level of growth makes provision for land to accommodate 5,150 new homes to meet a housing requirement of 4,300. Welsh Water has no real preference regarding the options being considered.

We aim to ensure that sufficient infrastructure exists to accommodate domestic development, however where deficiencies are identified we look to resolve these through capital investment in our Asset Management Plans (AMP).

Developers can progress a site in advance of any regulatory investment by funding improvements to provide the necessary infrastructure themselves.

Not every settlement in the County is served by its own WwTW as the catchment area of some WwTWs cover numerous settlements.

We will need to await further information regarding the breakdown of allocated growth between settlements to allow us to make an assessment of the potential impact upon our assets. Where the total growth proposed exceeds the theoretical design capacity of our WwTWs then improvements to provide further capacity will be required during the LDP period.

We have provided details of the requirements for each of the strategic sites in respect of water supply, hydraulic modelling assessment, easements and waste water treatments works.

We welcome the inclusion of a strategic policy relating to Infrastructure and New Development. In areas where additional capacity is required in our infrastructure to accommodate growth but where no capital investment is planned through our AMP programme, developers can progress improvements to provide the necessary infrastructure themselves, with the necessary funding secured either via the S106 planning obligation process or under the requisition provisions of the Water Industry Act 1991.

We welcome that the policy recognises the importance of having adequate capacity within both the water supply and the sewerage/drainage infrastructure to accommodate proposed development sites.
