We understand that supply of water across the whole of the south of England is now reaching critical levels As the EA have identified the plan area as being under serious water stress, this should be the very reason not to build 10,350 homes. The long-term impact would be very severe, particularly in prolonged periods of high temperatures and minimal rainfall. Relying on a reduction of water use of 15l per person is not enough to allay serious consequences. A much broader water strategy across the whole of the south of England is urgently required.
Reduce the housing number to a level where water supply is not at risk
