We support the consideration on water efficiency for new development. The Environment Agency 'water stressed areas - final classification' report, July 2013, identifies the entire area as being under 'serious stress' and over time pressures from changing weather and population growth are likely to increase. As well as supporting the natural environment, water resources are critical to sustainable economic growth and housing development.
