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? Will developers be penalised if the promised gain does ont materialise? How will this be dealt with?
