We acknowledge amendments (MAC 046) proposed to the criteria for Policy PSD1 and welcome reference to maximised opportunities for water resilience in criteria (g). We agree that water efficiency in new developments can offer multiple benefits and we recognise it can positively contribute to nutrient neutrality provided it forms part of a wider package of mitigation, as referenced in Paragraph 11.284. Similar to the above (MAC 036), we would highlight that water efficiency measures may not secure nutrient neutrality, in accordance with Policy CCH4, but could be utilised as part of its strategy

Whilst the proposed amendments to Policy PSD1 are not identical in wording to that introduced under Policy INF4. Both seek to promote the efficient use of water in new development and recognise the wider role that water management measures can play in contributing towards
nutrient neutrality.

To avoid repetition, please refer to our response to Policy INF4. In particular, the importance of ensuring sufficient flexibility is incorporated into both the proposed policy wording and that of supporting text to reflect the fact that, where necessary, nutrient mitigation may be achieved through a combination of different mechanisms.

This approach is essential to ensure the RLDP accurately reflects the range of options through which nutrient mitigation may be secured and thus support the timely delivery of much-needed housing whilst ensuring compliance with the Habitats Regulations.
