Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 22470

Received: 20/02/2017

Respondent: Miss Judith Rogers

Representation Summary:

Yes, the highest level of water efficiency should be used, although I cannot see how this can be achieved by stating a limit on each new home. Surely the amount of water used is down to whoever lives in the property. Any new homes built should not make existing residents any worse off in terms of hose pipe bans etc, during the summer. You do have a duty to ensure that new developments do not adversely affect existing residents.
