PUSH Growth Fund Changes for 2010/11

The Partnership for Urban South Hampshire is dismayed at the Government's response to its recent consultation on cuts in the Growth Fund. The 44% cut in PUSH’s capital, grant announced this week, will mean that PUSH will not be able to support some key projects in 2010-11 and puts at risk other investment in projects that rely on PUSH funding. ...

Integrated Water Management Study

What the project is:

A study examining the options and risks, particularly in regard to water supply, water quality and impacts on European conservation sites, associated with the implementation of the policies for South Hampshire in the draft South East Plan. This study takes forward recommendations made in the Integrated Water Management Overview commissioned in 2006.

Background:

The housing target associated with New Growth Point status is to deliver over 40,000 homes by 2016. However, this level of growth will be subject to comprehensive testing and public consultation through the regional and local planning processes to ensure that individual proposals are sustainable, realistic and environmentally acceptable.

For PUSH, future work will include developing an Integrated Water Management Plan which will be used to inform levels and locations of growth to ensure that water quality impacts are managed and adequate infrastructure is provided. This will entail working closely with the Environment Agency and relevant water companies on the development and implementation of measures to achieve water savings and efficiency, and assessing and mitigating the impacts of growth on local habitats (many of which are of international significance). The purpose of the Integrated Water Management Study is to enable the Integrated Water Management Plan to be completed.
