Bellway supports the reduction of water demand through water efficiency measures. The requirements for enhanced water efficiency requirements beyond the requirements of the Building Regulations need to be appropriately evidenced.
Achieving a water use target of 100l/p/d for homes is considered achievable, as is the provider of rain harvesting
water butts. However, the provision of greywater recycling systems needs to adequately consider the technical feasibility and viability of this type of system.
Achieving 4 BREEAM credits for non-residential development is also likely to pose technical and viability issues.
Achieving 4 credits requires water demand to be reduce by 50% and would require the use of rainwater harvesting and greywater use.
While broadly supportive, it is recommended the Council give further consideration to the technical feasibility and costs of this Policy as part of the next stage of Plan preparation to ensure any proposals are feasible and viable.
