Southern Water supports a policy on communitiy infrastructure and anticipates the policy will include text on the provision of water and waste water infrastructure to meet the demand from new development.
Southern Water is committed to meeting the demand for water and wastewater services arising from new develoment as identified in the adopted development plans. However, delivery of infrastructure may require planning permission, and there can be delays beyond our control, particularly if there are objections to our proposals. It is therefore imperative that provision of infrastructure is supported by the planning authority, and that the rate of development is co-ordinated to coincide with the rate at which the necessary capacity can be provided.
