I think it is totally wrong to move the sewage works to a greenfield site in order to build ‘sustainable’ housing. This is simply wrecking a green belt/greenfield site & creating more carbon by the move & construction process. This is not sustainable. The Honey Hill site is particularly sensitive- proximity to an SSSI and a rare haven for wildlife. Wildlife is being pushed to the brink. This is so short sighted. Why can’t you upgrade the plant at the current site? In the light of COVID and more home working, do we really need more commercial premises?
