Local Plans should consider the capacity and quality of water supply systems and any impact development may have on the environment, including understanding the supply and demand patterns now and in the future across the LPA area.

Projected water availability should take account of the impact of a changing climate. Water companies hold information and data to help with this and LPAs should work closely with water companies when they are producing their Local Plans.

This information should be reflected in the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) of the Local Plan.
