Colchester City Council Preferred Options Local Plan Regulation 18 Consultation 2025

As for PP1, Anglian Water supports the policy criteria d, e, and f - to ensure
that both flood risk and pollution risks can be avoided through appropriate
mitigation and phasing to manage surface water run-off through SuDS,
improving water efficiency, and ensuring there is wastewater treatment
capacity.
For greenfield sites (or sites with no existing surface water connection), no
new surface water connections to the combined sewer will be accepted.
New developments must provide adequate drainage for both foul and
stormwater in separate networks.
See attachment with detailed comments on numerous policies. Anglian Water welcomes the opportunity to contribute comments on the Draft
Local Plan for Colchester City Council. We consider that the Plan is well set out with in relation
to managing flood risk, surface water and wastewater, and enabling water efficiency. We
recognise the challenges for meeting the uplift in housing requirements and the
infrastructure required to help deliver future growth across the district, with the main
focus being Colchester and the larger towns.
We have raised some policy matters relating to consistency between policies addressing surface
water flood risk, water supply, and wastewater, and how these matters are attributed to site
allocation policies.
We look forward to continuing our positive and proactive discussions with the Council in
respect of our comments and the next iteration of the Local Plan, including supporting updates
to the evidence base if required
