Mayall Southern Water IP3 Southern Water treats wastewater arising from existing and new development at the local Wastewater Treatment Works (WTW) in accordance with an environmental permit. Contrary to the proposal in Policy IP3, it is not necessary for developers to consider the impact on the treatment works as this will be dealt with by the water industry's regulatory process, which is well-established. Furthermore, with regard to the final sentence in Policy IP3, where any work is required to be carried out on Southern Water's infrastructure, it is not reasonable to expect it to be 'located [...] to minimise the impact of implementation on the Town '. The location of Southern Water's current network of water and wastewater infrastructure serving the town of Whitchurch is fixed, and where there may be a need to upgrade, maintain or connect to those existing networks, the location of such works is unlikely to be alterable. Accordingly, to meet the basic conditions Southern Water propose the following amendments to WNP Policy IP3: “In particular the impact of the development upon the sewerage system and treatment works including flood risk which could adversely impact the quality of water in the River Test shall be considered. Proposals for new developments must identify and deliver any off-site infrastructure needed to connect to the nearest point of capacity, determined by Southern Water in the sewerage system. This off-site infrastructure, which would need to be provided by the development, must be identified in terms of scope and potential impact on the Town Centre and SSSI as part of the design statement supporting development proposals.
