Taylor Wimpey supports the reduction of water demand through water efficiency measures. The requirements for enhanced water efficiency requirements beyond the requirements of Building Regulations need to be appropriately evidenced.
Achieving a water use target of 100l/p/d for homes is considered achievable, as is the requirement to provide 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. This is only likely to be suitable for larger, commercial development and will not be suitable for residential development due to constraints over space required for storage, treatment requirements and cost.
While very large development may have the scale to overcome the technical issues noted above, smaller development will likely have similar issues around the need for greywater use, i.e. space, treatment and cost.
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.
