Re: Aslacton Proposed Site: For many years sewer system does not have adequate capacity and too frequently we have sewage in the streets. Planners continue to approve developments making the problem worse. Madness and in effect approval of developments is South Norfolk Planning approving ever more sewage in our streets.
No further approval of any developments in the Aslacton sewage catchment area until the sewage system capacity is resolved such that we no longer too often have sewage in the street. Given that this has been an issue for many many years it would seem unlikely there will be any resolution in the near future.
Re: Aslacton Proposed Site: Some of the sites under this South Norfolk Regulation 19 are currently totally inappropriate for further development. In Aslactron for many years (more than 15 years) the sewage system has been unable to cope with needs from current housing (as of 15 years ago) and in winter moderately frequentlyt there is toilet paper and sewage flowing in the street. Anglian Water investigate but never seem to address the issue and we still have sewage in the street and planners continue to approve additional development and the problem gets worse.
Whatever or whoever has obligations in the real world nothing is being resolved so further development is madness and in effect is South Norfolk saying they consider sewage in our roads and streets acceptable.

In the WCS report provided, the allocation is as follows: BAR1 19 houses, BAR2, 40 houses. However, the latest proposals show 20 and 45 respectively. Surely a revised WCS report is now required?
Revision of WCS report and further consultation following the results of that.

It appears a revised WCS is required as in the WCS report provided, the allocation is BAR1 19 houses and BAR2 40 houses. However the latests proposals show 20 houses and 45 houses respectively.

The WCS sets out the parameters for assessing the headroom or capacity of Anglian Water’s water recycling centres to accommodate the growth proposed in the SNVCHAP. In Section 3.1.1 Wastewater treatment assessment approach, and the sub-heading ‘Environmental Capacity Assessment’ there is a statement regarding WRCs with descriptive consents. A general parameter of whether allocated growth would exceed a population of 250 was used to determine whether environmental capacity would be impacted.
It is correct that many descriptive permits require a population equivalent of less than 250. Descriptive permits apply to small water recycling centres (WRCs) serving a small number of properties or a small settlement – often collectively referred to as ‘descriptive works’. These descriptive permits are for a low-risk discharge which does not contain any numerical limit conditions for the discharge but relies on descriptive conditions only – meaning there is no requirement for flow measurement at these sites. A descriptive permit generally applies when the WRC serves a population equivalent (PE) less than 250, with no trade effluent accepted at the works, and no potable water supply intakes downstream that are likely to be adversely affected. The Environment Agency (EA) will also assess whether there is any significant environmental or amenity impact before they grant a descriptive permit.
However, when looking in detail at the parameters of the permits many of the descriptive works are based on different descriptive standards that can apply to a much smaller population or cubic metres per day of flow that can restrict the capacity available. The descriptive permits for the following WRCs have a specification for a volume discharge which would equate to populations much lower than 250 and limits the feasibility of connections for proposed growth in these locations:
School Lane Spooner Row WRC - 17.65 cubic metres per day,
Haddiscoe-Mock Mile Terr WRC - 14.9 cubic metres per day
Winfarthing - Chapel Close WRC - 10 cubic metres per day.
It is noted that a number of WRCs in Appendix B are identified as exceeding headroom capacityonce growth from the Greater Norwich Local Plan and SNVCHAP are factored in. Some of these have sufficient capacity for growth coming forward and will require subsequent growth investment in later AMPs, whereas WRCs such as Whitlingham and Beccles have already been identified for growth schemes to increase dry weather flow capacity in AMP8 (subject to final determination of our PR24 Business Plan by Ofwat at the end of 2024).
Anglian Water welcomes the further opportunity to engage with the plan preparation and will continue to liaise with the Council to support the plan and the relevant evidence base documents towards submission.
