The AONB team is broadly supportive of changes to policy LP26 (formerly LP28). Development with inadequate water/sewage infrastructure or capacity has the potential to impact on both the Suffolk Coast & Heaths and the Dedham Vale AONBs. The policy needs a minor amendment to reflect this.

Pigeon welcomes the deletion of part ‘7’ of the policy as modified and ensures that any ambiguity in the policy has been removed.

Pigeon would still advocate that to ensure that the policy is not overly prescriptive and provides flexibility in its application, that part ‘1’ should be worded so that it is taken into consideration, rather than conforming to, given that it is a pioneering way of water management, the implications of which are largely unknown in terms of applying to development.

We are concerned that Policy LP26 Water Resources require surface water drainage to
provide community and environmental benefits as development and surface water strategies
will be dependent on soil typology and infiltration testing results. We believe point 1 should
be reworded to only require those benefits where possible. In addition, we query the removal of “where possible” from point 4 of the policy, and if it can
be justified to require all developments to separate foul and surface water flows. We
question whether this means that if a development is unable to separate foul and surface
water flows that the development will be refused?
