Anglian Water is supportive of the requirements for applicants to engage with the relevant sewerage companies (Anglian Water and Thames Water) to demonstrate that there is capacity within the foul sewerage network or that improvements can made prior to the occupation of the development (where capacity is not currently available).

Anglian Water as a sewerage company obtains fair charges from developers in accordance with the provisions of the Water Industry 1991 to ensure that sites can be drained effectively. Therefore we do not normally require planning obligations or standard charges for this policy. These charges have recently been simplified with the introduction of zonal charges. Theses charges are not set by reference to network reinforcement necessitated by the particular development in question, but by reference to the estimated overall cost of network reinforcement over the charging period.
