[QUOTE="Foxhollow, post: 7513693, member: 520"] The work to bring the sewage infrastructure upto standard would take much more than ten years. I worked on the Lee Tunnel and Thames Tunnel storm water schemes 15 years ago and only the Lee Tunnel has been constructed the Thames Tunnel is being constructed and they are only part of the solution to splitting the storm water runoff to normal sewage. Essentially all these two schemes do is stop combined storm water and sewage being dumped into the Thames during "high" rainfall events. The biggest problem is that planners/ local authorities do not even think of the impact of a housing scheme on the sewage treatment side of things. The developer may have to pay to connect to the nearest sewer but the link of the extra housing/ commercial offices does not get factored into the sewage infrastructure at all at development stage. The water/ sewage companies to not have a say in the planning consultation process and if they may do their voice is never heard at planning stage. [/QUOTE]
