Over the next 25 years, our area will face increasing pressures due to the Governments projection of housing and population growth for the area and impact of climate change. These pressures include:

• Population to increase by at least 20%
• Number of houses to increase by 40%
• Growth in businesses in line with population to support employment
• Summers will be drier reducing water availability
• Winters will be wetter, increasing risks of flooding
• Quality of surface waters threatened by increased pollution
• More water required to maintain environmental systems
• Targets for reduction of carbon emissions

In our Water Resource Plan, we set out how we propose to manage these challenges while continuing to provide affordable, secure and safe water supplies. To ensure that our proposals have fully taken into account social and environmental issues, independent consultants have carried out a Strategic Environmental Assessment of our plan. This assessment is also available for public consultation.

You may download all the documents you require from this website. For ease of download, the documents have been separated into manageable sections as described below.
