Village Clusters Housing Allocations Plan - Reg. 19 Pre-submission Addendum

We support paragraph 11.9’s reference to the potential need for phasing due to the potential strain on capacity at Wymondham WRC caused by in-combination effects with development identified in the GNLP.
However, although policy VC WIC1REV requires “Early engagement with Anglian Water regarding their infrastructure on and adjoining the site”, it does not mention capacity issues. VC WIC2 does not mention engagement with Anglian Water at all. We recommend both policies are amended to include a requirement for early engagement with Anglian Water in order to ensure that there is adequate capacity, or capacity can be made available, in the local Water Recycling Centre.

Current data shows limited capacity at Forncett End WRC. It is not clear why the requirement for early engagement with Anglian Water to determine the capacity of the receiving WRC and the consequent potential need to for phasing is proposed for removal from VC BUN1 and VC BUN2.
