The Government’s own review by the Independent Water Commission, chaired by Sir Jon Cunliffe, said strongly that we need to have SUDS on a mandatory basis to make sure that new developments face the fact that we are not going to put excess sewage into the system, meaning that the combined sewers overflow, causing a public health problem, when they go into existing developments. I have not yet heard from the Government why they believe this does not cause a public health problem; my sense is that it most certainly does.
