Stricter requirements could be brought in to ensure new developments do not add to existing water quality concerns in the county.
Councillors say new planning rules should be introduced to prevent putting more pressure on local sewage capacity, leading to an increase in sewage being dumped into watercourses.
It says: “Residents are deeply concerned about water quality and the impact of regular waste-water discharge, which includes untreated sewage, into our rivers, and the impact this has on wildlife and on human health. Severn Trent will be asked to provide more information on sewage management when consulted on future developments, and council planning officers assessing applications for major developments would be asked to include specific sections in their reports on the impact of the plans on watercourses.
