In our experience and analysis it is difficult to reduce water use to the levels described without compromising functionality, unless Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) for internal use is incorporated. RWH is rarely used on housing due to the cost, ongoing management issues and additional embodied carbon. Research also suggests that RWH increases CO² emissions at a time when we are seeking to reduce emissions. A target of 110 litres per person is considered more achievable and in line with the Government’s own guidance.

70. IM Land broadly support Draft Policy H. However, the policy does go beyond the requirements of the Building Regulations higher water efficiency standard and so, costs will need to be considered as part of development viability.

The Environmental Improvement Plan 2023 Action 7 calls for a review of Building Regulations on water efficiency, reuse, and drainage, proposing a standard of 105 litres per person per day (l/p/d), or 100 l/p/d in areas of serious water stress. The 2021 Water Stressed Areas Classification identifies Severn Trent’s region as stressed, but the data is outdated. Severn Trent’s 2024 draft water resources management plan targets 110 l/p/d by 2050. Robust up-to-date evidence should be provided to justify stricter requirements of 100 l/p/d. Furthermore, it is recommended to align to Building Regulations in line with national requirements.

Hill Residential 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. While Hill Residential is 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.

The University is supportive of the principle of improving water efficiency in new development. However, they would question the reference to 4 credits under the WAT01 measure with regards to BREAAM, given that achieving ‘Outstanding’ requires 2 credits under this category. For certain types of use within the campus, achieving 4 credits under WAT01 is likely to be very challenging (e.g. student accommodation with a high concentration of ensuite facilities).

Wates Developments support Draft Policy H, which requires new non-residential development greater than 1,000 sqm to meet the BREEAM “excellent” standard for water consumption. Wates Developments has confirmed that a BREEAM “outstanding” rating will be targeted as part of the development of Coppington Farm, Wellesbourne (part of the SG15 Growth Option), exceeding the requirements of Draft Policy H to provide further water efficiency benefits.
