224 Mr K S Gee
Water - there are several things that builders can be requested to do to save water. 1) Fit w.c's with economy valves. 2) Fit
showers instead of batchs as a first option. Energy - lay 240mm thick insulation in loft areas.
Local Authorities can only do so much by imposing requirements upon developers. This main objective should be to
constantly educate the public on the benefits of efficiency in respect of water, fuel and energy consumption. Whilt a
developer can install efficient systems, they will not serve their purpose unless used in an efficient way by the occupants of
225 Mr P Court
the buildings. Hence the Council needs to target residents and employers, rather than developers.
226 Mrs A Hill We should encourage water companies to maintain pipes!
It is good to have this requirement. For instance the requirement for new houses to have a water meter led to me accepting
one when I had the chance as I had a friend in a new house who had lower water bills. It gave me confidence to switch. I
227 Mr & Mrs Haskew think the same will happen with renewable energy.
228 Ms A Henderson I think requirements are necessary. I think a majority of public couldn't be bothered to conserve energy and water.
229 Mr J Robinson We know that the South East is a 'dry' area and that more housing will only worsen the situation.
230 V G Crick Simply encourage
New housing should be energy efficient. The idea of storing rain water and grey water is a good one. Flushing the toilet
231 Mr & Mrs Walker with perfectly good drinking water has always seemed wrong to me.
I would like to see future housing developments (and possibly industrial) use more environmentally friendly heating/water
and such as collections rainwater to flush loo's - recycling washing water for flashing loos, solar panels etc. Apparently
Japan uses a lot of these types of systems on their homes. I would like to see recycling become a way of life - though this
232 Mrs A Robinson is probably a long way off.
233 Mr G Congram Yes, solar and wind power at both household and industrial should be supported
In this area we should be making more use of solar energy. All future buildings should be made to incorporate solar panels.
234 Mr J T Dorrell
All rainwater should be directed into storage tanks for use during the dry season.
The infrastructure in the district should be soundly based water supply being a government issue these should be addressed
235 L W Lewis
first before governments demands for more housing.
Lets make builders put water butts and compost bins in/on all properties. More recycling required with collection going to all
236 Mr & Mrs Beattie roads. Impose penalties on those who cannot be bothered to recycle.
237 Mr Sanders This isn't an area local councils should be involved in.
238 Gill Tilson Priority must be given to correcting the water shortage first.
239 Ms S Martin
This is a very sensitive subject. Most people are intellignet enough to understand the consequences. Enforcement with
financial penalities only causes resentment. A wider view must be taken with businesses and industry taking a leading role.
Yes. Renewable energy provision sounds a good idea and all new houses should be fitted with water-butts. We think a
requirement is good and better than 'encouragement', which works for some, but not all. Encourage people to be 'energy
240 Mr & Mrs Beattie efficient' by roadshows.
242 Mr D Batchelor Build wind generators.
All new buildings should include features to save rainwater and conserve energy. A formal requirement is needed as few
developers will voluntarily install such features, they are in general entirely profit driven and build everything they can down
243 Adrean Lansdowne to a price rather than to a standard which is what is needed.
Heat loss calculations etc, when applied to new builds is a good idea. But why not add rainwater recovery systems both to

new builds and alterations?
