Representation Summary:

Sufficient sewage and water capacity should be dealt with in advance of housing, not afterwards as a minimum. Similarly, other infrastructure - developers have to provide as houses are built not years later e.g. GP surgeries, shops, schools still be waited for after people move in. Biodiversity nett gain - e.g. if tree planting is done, how will the survival of those trees be managed and monitored to see that the nett gain has occurred?
