Solihull Local Plan (Draft Submission) 2020
Representation ID: 11183
Received: 12/12/2020
Respondent: Environment Agency
Representation Summary:
We support the water quality policies in P11, particularly with ensuring that there is no deterioration of water quality. Package treatment plants provide a lower quality of sewage treatment than water company assets and are more difficult to regulate if issues arise. As a result we recommend that connections are made to the foul or combined sewer opposed to package treatment plants.
SUDS schemes help to remediate the impact of urban diffuse pollution such as historic misconnections which are often an issue for surface waterbodies, and are a particular issue for the River Blythe.
