Let water companies veto planning applications due to infrastructure demand

Petition Details

We want the Government to make water companies statutory consultees for planning applications for new developments, and give them the power to veto planning applications where current infrastructure would not be able to cope with increased demand.

Additional Information

It is clear that Britain's water companies are not able to cope. Infrastructure failings are resulting in sewage discharge into rivers and seas.

Additionally provision of water is being interrupted because of failing infrastructure as seen recently in Sussex and Kent.

Water companies are not able to prevent new developments that could overburden already strained infrastructure. THIS MUST CHANGE.
