West Northamptonshire Water Cycle Strategy Phase 1

This WCS has been developed under the direction of a stakeholder steering group including Daventry District Council, South Northamptonshire Council, Northampton Borough Council (these three have been represented by the Joint Planning Unit), Anglian Water Services Limited (AWS), the Environment Agency (EA) and West Northamptonshire Development Corporation (WNDC, who commissioned the study). 
 
It has assessed the potential impacts and constraints associated the proposed major development areas with regard to key topics of:
  • Flood risk;
  • Water resources and suppply;
  • Foul Sewerage;
  • Waste water treatment
  • Water quality and water-related ecology.

This WCS also provides guidance on the role of the water cycle infrastructure in achieving sustainable development. It identifies actions and responsibilities to help move forward, as well as addressing potential barriers to achieving this vision.
