The NPPF emphasises the necessity for sufficient infrastructure to meet the demands of new developments. While it's acknowledged that an adequate water supply is essential, it's expected that water providers, such as Severn Trent, undertake requisite upgrades to guarantee reliable services. Policy wording should expect for water providers to enhance their infrastructure in areas of growth.

However, sites which adjoin existing built-up areas with accessible infrastructure, such as the site at Cophams Hill, should be preferred due to existing infrastructure.

Directing development solely based on current water infrastructure investment is neither justifiable nor acceptable, especially for new settlements.
