Sustainable Resource Management
Under the proposed policy 'Strategy for Sustainable Resource Management' (Box 31) as a minimum we would support Option 1, but encourage Option 2 which sets higher levels than the minimum sustainability requirements of the Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH). We must also be clear that under our remit we are in support of the water efficiency levels set for each CSH Level in order to protect our precious water resources in the Southern Water and South East Water supply area which is defined by our national water stress maps as an 'area of serious water stress'.
