The proposed water efficiency standard of 100 litres per person per day notably exceeds that in the Building Regulations (125 litres per day, with the option for authorities to reduce it to 110 litres per day). It is acknowledged that the evidence base, namely the Coventry and Warwickshire Sub-Regional Water Cycle Study (August 2024), recommends a planning policy to require a water efficiency target of 100 litres per day to be achieved using a fittings- based approach, due to evidence of pressures on the environment, and on public water supply. Thus, such a policy, though unnecessary given that this is addressed in the Building Regulations, could be justified.
