The water industry uses 2% of the UK's energy and is closely linked to the climate crisis. Reducing water send to the sewerage system will help to manage the impact of heavier rainstorms on the sewage processing system.
All new development must be part of the solution.

Don't know where else to put it, but areas that regular flood in heavy rain need sorting and fixing eg Kings Coughton, Coughton, Studley, Sambourne. Climate change, and more housing developments, will only make existing problems worse.

Any new developments should take place only on condition that water supply and sewage run off for existing residents will not be compromised. It is not acceptable for new builds to cause poor pressure issues in other properties or for sewage to be frequently leaking across footpaths and roadways, as happens here in Bishop's Tachbrook as a result of the village infrastructure being insufficient to cope with the added new demands.

Agree but i would like to see Government and Councils put directives on our Water Management Companies. We are a nation of late that is going through an environment cycle that produces much rain / waterfall and floods yet we cannot seem to manage and store this water for the future warmer months. We should be able to sell water to other countries! Whilst the public can be conservative with its use, the increasing population means that our water companies need to store water and management water efficiently and seek to utilise the water that surrounds our island.

This is good in principal but not very ambitious. A 200l water butt will fill very quickly in heavy rain. a 350 l water butt should be a minimum, and possibly two in tandem, together with extra water butts on sheds and greenhouses. It should hardly ever be necessary to use mains water for the garden. Rainwater tanks on roofs could be used for flushing toilets, especially in flats.

We have already seen stress on water infrastructure in recent years, with long periods of drought and hose pipe bans, followed by months of rain! Requiring homes and commercial buildings to minimise water use would seem to be a good thing.

I think that this could go further, where gardens are incorporated in designs, they should only be allowed to be paved over (patios, driveways) with permeable solutions

More beaurocracy and wokery. Water is a resource which needs to be managed on both supply and demand sides.
The water providers need to be properly managed by sensible and viable KEY indicators and sanctions, whilst the user will generally respond to common sense, such as water butts, where correct pricing makes it obviously beneficial to do so.
I have seen more water leak down School Road (Hampton on the Hill)than I have used in a lifetime.

Agree with proposals in principles. However this contradicts selection of SG17, where water runoff (from new builds in teh last 4 years) already adding to high flood risk. Convergence of 36 tributaries into Stour in Shipston area - very high risk of flooding (3-4 times a year). Increased buidling will only add to risk and flooding downstream to Avon

Agree, I believe residential sites designated should all have their own water storage reservoirs, solar and energy storage to power and fuel the designated site. Clearly applicable to sites of a certain scale - 150 houses plus.

Severn Trent must be a consultee whenever new developments are considered for planning approval. It's outrageous that developers have a right to connect to water and sewage systems even when the water company hasn't been alerted to the planning proposal.
Can it be a requirement that when parking spaces and drives are created in areas where foul and rain water are collected together that the water must be drained to a soakaway instead of running into the road and overloading the sewage treatment plants?
