Water resources and new developments in the Croydon Opportunity Area

The request was refused by Croydon Borough Council.

Dear Croydon Borough Council,

(1) Have the officers seen the network capacity assessments that developers request of Thames Water when preparing their proposals?

(2). Can the Council provide any statistics from Thames Water that shows the annual water usage in the Opportunity Area 2006 to see how it has changed during the downturn following the banking crisis of 2008 and since the process of development and occupation of new tall buildings has happened?

(3) Has the Council prepared an Integrated Water and Sewage Management assessment for the Opportunity Area to ensure that the water supply and sewage infrastructure consequences of the new office and residential developments can be met?

(4) What evidence did the officers submit to the Mayor of London’s consultation on the London Infrastructure Plan 2050?

(5) Did the officers assess the water supply problems faced by the residents in Altitude 25 and what conclusions did it draw?

Yours faithfully,

Sean Creighton
