New Local Plan: Spatial Options Document 2021

Q2. Do you agree with our draft vision for Rochford District?

Representation ID: 44326

Received: 03/09/2021

Respondent: Anglian Water Services Ltd

Representation Summary:

In view of the numbers of additional homes which you are looking to accommodate my initial view was that it was unlikely there would be any showstoppers in terms of the spatial distribution of the sites.

Anglian Water colleagues planning future wastewater have advised that:

• Both Southend and Rayleigh West theoretically have enough capacity to take 2,500 houses.
• Rochford will be at its limit unlikely to be at a point stopping some additional growth going there.
• When Southend reaches capacity Anglian Water will to need to relocate WRC as there isn't any more space on the land or around it.
• On paper preference would be development served by Rayleigh West.

Colleagues in Pre Development Services - who would consider sites at the preferred option stage and advise developers - have run the numbers and confirmed that:

• Along with Rochford, the other WR catchments likely to be involved are Rayleigh-West and Rayleigh-East (see attached).
• All three WRC’s have headroom to accommodate the additional numbers you are looking at (circa 2.5k units)
• The pinch points are in the network and so would need considering when at preferred site shortlisting stage.
• Currently they suggest additional housing sites should first be located in the Rayleigh- West catchment (as wastewater colleagues indicated) and then Rayleigh-East.
• The preference would be for concentration of development as this enables investment at scale both by Anglian Water and developers.
• The network will need looking at closer and may pose some issue with regard to the impact on frequency and volume from the Combined Sewer Overflows.
• This would be at the ROCD SP and STBG SM (see attached).
• Both of these discharge to sensitive watercourses and that may involve new storm discharge consents from EA which may cause some concerns for developers although with this should be resolvable at planning application stage.

So as suggested last month in summary no show stoppers provided you take account of your existing commitments which you advised are mainly in Rochford (the Rochford catchment).
