The Oxford to Cambridge growth corridor is one of the most seriously water stressed area in the country. The water industry understands the challenge and has a crucial role in ensuring a sustainable water supply into the future as well as enhancing the environment.
This study looked at how spatial local planning can support these goals. We examined how water considerations are currently considered through the planning system and how local policies can be improved. The best outcomes for water will rely on robust evidence, policy influence, early engagement, strategic planning, and coordination.
