<p>The 2012 National Policy Statement (NPS) for Waste Water states that a review can be expected approximately every five years. A decision will be taken this year on whether a review of the NPS is necessary at this point in time, in line with the provisions of Section 6 of the Planning Act 2008. These provisions include consideration of whether there has been a significant change in circumstances on the basis of which the NPS was decided and whether this would have a material impact on the policy itself.</p><p> </p>
