The government remains determined to drive local plans to adoption as quickly as possible in order to achieve our ambition of universal plan coverage and to ensure that plans contribute positively to increasing rates of housebuilding and infrastructure delivery. Local government reorganisation should not hinder the adoption of an up-to-date local plan.
National planning policy makes clear that local plans should be positively prepared and, as a minimum, seek to meet identified development needs. Local planning authorities are expected to do all they reasonably can to meet need, including working proactively with infrastructure providers (including water providers) to align growth and infrastructure provision. If needs cannot be met, the authority must clearly and robustly explain the reasons during the plan examination. The approach the authority has taken, including how it engaged with infrastructure providers, will be a key consideration for the independent Inspector in evaluating whether the local plan can be found ‘sound’.
Local planning authorities should consider whether otherwise unacceptable development could be made acceptable through the use of conditions or planning obligations. This could include the provision of infrastructure which is necessary to make a development acceptable in planning terms. Where it is in place, developers may also contribute towards infrastructure through the Community Infrastructure Levy.
Defra has established a Water Delivery Taskforce to ensure that water companies deliver on their planned investments to provide water and wastewater capacity. Water companies are under a statutory duty to provide new water and sewerage connections and must plan for future growth through their water resources and wastewater management plans. The water resources planning guideline published by the Environment Agency and Ofwat. Sets out how those companies should forecast demand for water based on existing customers and planned levels of household and non-household growth.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment has the Government made of the potential impact of additional housing growth on chalk stream catchments in instances where wastewater treatment works are functioning at or near full capacity.

My Department has made no such specific assessment.
Between 16 December 2025 and 10 March 2026, we consulted on a new National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). That draft Framework, which can be found on gov.uk here, includes a new reference to chalk streams as features of high environmental value and an updated definition of irreplaceable habitat, setting out more clearly the criteria which decision-makers should consider when determining whether a habitat falls under the definition.
It also requires early engagement between relevant plan-making authorities and utility providers so that development plans are informed by a clear understanding of capacity and future requirements for water infrastructure, and includes a new decision-making policy to support the delivery of water supply, drainage, and wastewater infrastructure, giving substantial weight to the benefits of improving capacity for existing users, supporting growth, improving water quality and reducing waterborne pollution.
We are currently analysing the feedback received and will publish our response in due course.
