We welcome the requirement for sites of five or more dwellings in settlements where there is no connection to the public sewer to be served by a single private treatment system. This will prevent proliferation of small private treatment systems in rural areas and reduce risk of system failure if appropriate management controls are in place.
However, Paragraph 4.2.11 of the HRA Addendum Report (February 2023) advises this policy should be amended by ‘…directly referencing in the policy wording that ‘such infrastructure will only be permitted if it can be demonstrated that there is no adverse effect on the integrity of phosphorus sensitive riverine SACs’’.
Despite this recommendation, no change has been made to the policy and there is no explanation given for this.
Regard should be had to the emerging nature of this impact pathway, the associated development in scientific understanding, and the subsequent advent of mitigative solutions and relevant guidance – factors which do not align well with the development plan process. As clarified within the HRA 2nd Addendum (Ref 61, Appendix A), the recommendations made in paragraph 4.2.11 were in the interest of specificity, and are not considered to impact the soundness of the plan whether subsequently heeded (or not)."
This matter will be further considered during examination.
