APTUS CONNECTIONS ISSUE 18 - FUTURE WORKFORCE

Liam Knowles, business development manager (North West): “OFWAT have published information relating to the water authority’s charging structure, which includes the removal of the income offset payment from the water authority – currently an effective net discount to the overall water costs; a direct benefit to the developer in reducing non-contestable costs on each plot. “This applies to NAV adopted schemes as well as incumbent adoption. It is our understanding

that plots connected beyond 1st April 2025 (regardless of all factors) will not benefit from the income offset rebate, thus increasing the cost of the non- contestable costs per plot and therefore significantly increasing tenders across the industry.”

We understand that developers will be concerned about the wide-ranging impact of the changes on existing and upcoming developments. Aptus is working in partnership with its customers to plan and navigate the changes. If you have any questions or queries, please contact your project design manager to discuss how the changes could impact your development.
