4 )Anglian Water has assets close to or crossing this site or there are assets subject to an adoption agreement. Therefore the site layout should take this into account and accommodate those assets within either prospectively adoptable highways or public open space. If this is not practicable then the sewers will need to be diverted at the developers cost under Section 185 of the Water Industry Act 1991. or, in the case of apparatus under an adoption agreement, liaise with the owners of the apparatus. It should be noted that the diversion works should normally be completed before development can commence.Anglian Water has assets close to or crossing this site or there are assets subject to an adoption agreement.

5 )Dunstable Water Recycling Centre is included in our nutrient removal programme and will be designed to technically achievable limits (TAL). For the majority of WRCs in this programme this will be for phosphorous removal where TAL is 0.25mg/l. When both TAL and DWF capacity constraints are forecast at a WRC, either due to housing/non-domestic growth or infiltration into the network then alternative options will need to be considered. Some WRCs will be either too remote or not near another WRC with capacity. The impact of environmental pressures, including sites at technical achievable limits, and the approach required to enable future sustainable growth is something we will continue to discuss with the Environment Agency and key stakeholders, including local planning authorities. Where TAL impacts on the DWF headroom and our ability to accommodate future growth we may start objecting, if we are not doing so already, to planning applications in the impacted catchments.Dunstable Water Recycling Centre is included in our nutrient removal programme and will be designed to technically achievable limits (TAL).
