A Devonshire council is pushing to have South West Water excluded as a consultee on planning applications within its jurisdiction. A motion, approved by Torridge District Council, calls on central government to block South West Water from future consultations on the grounds that the company does not adequately engage in the process. Instead, the council is calling for an independent organisation to be appointed to oversee how water supplies and wastewater networks would be impacted by new developments.
