Future water requirements - In February 2021, we published our updated Future Water Resource Requirements for the South East document, providing a revised picture of the region's water resource needs in the decades ahead.
This new assessment sets out a summary of the planning challenge we face in our area and highlights where we are expecting changes to the forecasts we published a year ago and how we have taken account of what stakeholders told us during our previous consultation.
Resilience Framework - In June 2020, we put our draft Resilience Framework out for consultation. The adoption of the framework represents a significant step change in the way in which we plan water supplies. It will enable us to assess the shift in resilience delivered as a result of the regional plan being in place. It also means that, for the first time, we will plan for events beyond just drought, assessing how different options perform from a resilience perspective. We received some really detailed and useful feedback during our consultation and have updated our Resilience Framework Method Statement as a result.
Regional Policies - The Regional Policies are a set of planning assumptions, which will be used in our plan and will help shape its outputs. They cover a range of issues, including the use of drought permits and orders and leakage reduction. We worked closely with our member companies to agree initial policy positions. Plus, as our plan will consider both the water needs for public water supply and other sectors, we are working with wider organisations, through our multi-sector group, to understand relevant policies for their sectors to meet our shared ambitions. In October 2020, we published our response to the feedback we received during our consultation on our draft Regional Policies, enabling us to finalise our policy positions to inform the first phase of modelling for our plan.
Method Statements - Our Method Statements set out the processes and procedures we will follow when preparing all the technical elements for our regional resilience plan. They allow all interested parties who want to scrutinise our work to be clear on the approaches - in essence the ground rules - that we are going to be taking in some complex and critical areas. We reviewed all the feedback we received during our consultation on our draft Method Statements (which ran from July-October 2020) and have been publishing our final Method Statements, following the publication of the Environment Agency’s updated Water Resource Planning Guidance. This is to ensure that our approach is aligned with the new guidance from the Agency.
