Can you please confirm what evidence Chichester District Council expect to see from a developer to discharge this policy. i.e. how will developers comply with securing a water supply before occupation. It would be beneficial to understand what the Environment Agency's position on this is as well.
We are disappointed that only 110l per person is being promoted within this policy rather than 100l per person. It would be beneficial to understand why Chichester District Council are choosing these figures.

1. That there are no supply issues, such as that identified for the Sussex Water Resource Zone North, that are not addressed.


2. 110lppd is the tightest target required by Building Regulations – the 2015 Deregulation Act means LPAs cannot set additional standards. The need for water neutrality justifies a tighter target than this as an exception for the Sussex North Water Resource zone but we have not currently seen sufficient evidence to require 110 in the rest of the Plan Area at present although the policy is worded to encourage developers to go beyond this. Email from Portsmouth Water dated 26th June 2023 confirmed this is not a soundness objection.
Information about Portsmouth Water’s incentive to achieve water consumption below 100lppd will be added to supporting text

We recommend that the following is included within the policy or within notes to this policy:
A Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) is recommended for developments that are located within Source Protection Zones (SPZ) and next to rivers.

CEMPs are usually required in Planning Conditions. However, a new paragraph will be incorporated into the policy explicitly referring to pollution prevention measures being taken during construction activities. This criterion will be applicable to all development proposals and will therefore include development within SPZs/next to rivers although Policy NE18 Source Protection Zones already has criteria also relevant to this issue.
