Policy IN3

Water infrastructure

pp. 412–415

The human version (we wrote this, not the council)This policy requires developments to show they will have adequate water supply, foul drainage and sewage treatment capacity before homes are occupied, with phasing conditions used to enforce this. New buildings are expected to connect to mains drainage. The evidence shows 34 wastewater treatment works need upgrades to accommodate planned growth. A related policy (IN4) safeguards two strategic water sites: land at Galley Lane near Stoke Hammond for the Grand Union Canal water transfer project, and land west of Iver for a possible new drinking water treatment works.

Tips for a response that counts

One focused page beats ten rambling ones. Read the full guide to consultations

  1. Submit a formal representation. This is the only response that must be considered at the plan’s independent examination. The emails below are worth sending too, but they do not count as representations. Open the official response portal

    In the portal, open the chapter or policy you want to comment on and press Comment on that item. There is no single box for the whole plan, and you will need to create an account first.

    Write your comments before you open the portal: a notes app, an email draft or paper all work. Paste each one in and keep a copy. Ticking policies as you read builds the draft for you on the My response page.

  2. Email your ward councillors. They voted on this plan and represent you. The draft raises the consultation window and the missing costs.
