Respondent: Mrs Rachel King
The river Cam's flow rates are already lower than a river needs to be considered healthy. The Cambridge area is one that has been highlighted to be at risk of running out of water in the very near future. Building this many new homes in an arid area is wrong. Moving the sewage works from a brownfield site to a greenfield site is also wrong and will cause a devastating loss of biodiversity that is not even mentioned here. You may be creating a small linear park but the area you are ruining close by is many times greater.
