The policy needs to be clarified to make that clear. The related point in paragraph 10.21 should also be updated to reflect this position.

Miller and Vistry suggest criterion 14 needs clarifying. Miller Vistry agree that ensuring effective arrangements are in place to deal with foul drainage is an important consideration. Working with Southern Water, the development will connect to a new pipeline effectively conveying foul drainage to the Tangmere Wastewater Treatment Facility which has recently been upgraded. Similarly, Miller and Vistry agree that high environmental standards should be applied to the treatment of sewage arising from all development, however this is a matter beyond the control or remit of Miller and Vistry to directly control. It is the Statutory Water body’s (namely Southern Water in this instance) that have a statutory duty to meet set environmental standards as dictated by their permit. The policy needs to be clarified to make that clear. The related point in paragraph 10.21 should also be updated to reflect this position.
