Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan
Representation ID: 54707
Received: 05/10/2020
Respondent: Cam & Ely Ouse Catchment Partnership
Cambridge is a global city and a centre for world research and development, particularly in the fields of health and life sciences. As such, the Cam and Ely Ouse Catchment Partnership recognises the need for growth planned within the North East Cambridge Area Action Plan. However, Cambridge faces significant water challenges and any water committed to supplying development within the North East Cambridge Area Action Plan will be being taken from an environment currently under pressure. The Cam and Ely Ouse Catchment Partnership therefore fully supports the use of the most stringent water efficiency standards for both residential and non-residential development, considering the 80 litres/person/day standard outlined in Policy 4a as the necessary target to work towards site sustainability.
