Respondent: Anglian Water

Any new development should be phased appropriately to align with any required new or upgraded water and water recycling infrastructure provision. It important that developers have early discussions with our Pre-Development Services team so we can make sure the right infrastructure is in place at the right time. We want to ensure our assets enable the delivery of sustainable and resilient growth, whilst minimising capital carbon. Appropriate phasing of development means that Anglian Water is able to deliver the necessary infrastructure on time to serve the development and enable further sustainable growth. When either DWF or P-TAL are absolute constraints on growth in a catchment then the Council could take the view that sites may be developable over the Plan period, but not deliverable within a five-year timeframe.
Essential infrastructure such as water and water recycling infrastructure, is critical to facilitating and enabling growth. We welcome policy support for essential infrastructure provision to ensure that growth can be delivered in a timely manner. This includes the vital role which Rutland Water plays in supporting sustainable communities and development.
