Water Neutrality Consultancy

Guiding developments to match or reduce water demand — delivered with expert strategy and compliance support

Safeguarding your water flow

Expert Guidance Towards Water Neutrality

In today’s planning landscape, ensuring your development is water-neutral is increasingly vital. At Cascade Water Services, we support developers, planners and engineers across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire to assess, reduce and offset water demand — aligning new builds or expansions with local authority regulations.

Whether you’re creating residential, commercial or mixed-use space, our consultancy service helps minimise risk by providing compliant strategies and documentation that demonstrate your project will not increase overall water abstraction in the catchment area.

Why Water Neutrality Matters

Ensuring developments meet sustainability goals and planning requirements while protecting local water resources for the future.

Minimising demand and protecting resources

With environmental pressures mounting, planning authorities now expect developments to show that they will not increase regional water demand.

Our consultancy ensures your project meets this by designing systems and strategies that prioritise efficiency and resilience.

Compliance, credibility and cost control

As the requirement for water neutrality becomes embedded in local plans and water company guidance, failing to address it early can delay approval or inflate costs.

We provide clarity on obligations, help you understand which metrics apply, and integrate solutions that optimise budget and environmental outcomes.
