Key Points Studies by the Regional Assembly as part of the development of the revised RSS have shown that the region will be short of water in the future if measures are not taken to reduce water use, particularly in new developments The EU Water Framework Directive will continue to be a key driver for the protection and improvement of the water environment for the next 25 years, with its central concept of integrated water resource management for water basins A significant number of Strategic Flood Risk Assessments have either been undertaken, or are planned, to better understated and respond to development proposals in relation to flood risk Only 6 local authorities supplied figures on Sustainable Drainage Schemes (SuDS); in all planning permission was granted for 13 developments which contained SuDS The uptake of Combined Heat and Power (CHP) has remained less than expected The region has seen much increased interest in wind development and the number of installations is expected to increase markedly in the next year The region has challenging targets for renewable energy generation and there is uncertainty that all the targets will be met Actions The Region’s response to the EU Water Framework Directive will be led by the Environment Agency and will be worked out over the coming months Progress is being made on undertaking Strategic Flood Risk Assessments, which are the responsibility of local authorities; the role of the Environment Agency in these studies, as set out in PPS25, needs to be established in each case SuDS still appears to be an issue that does not engage local authorities. Action is required to ensure increased implementation through the Regional Plan The move towards carbon neutral and zero carbon development (in the emerging Regional Plan) may well provide another driver in favour of CHP East Midlands Regional Spatial Strategy Annual Monitoring Report 2005/06 73
