Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57511

Received: 10/12/2021

Respondent: Save Honey Hill Group

Representation Summary:

Agree in principle. This policy protects existing carbon sinks from development and is in line with Policy GP/GB Protection and Enhancement of the Cambridge Green Belt. Because of these two policies it is inappropriate that the development on an existing carbon sink, i.e. the proposed CWWTP relocation on Green Belt at Honey Hill, has not been included in Policy S/EOC: Other existing allocations on the edge of Cambridge.
Note: Fulfilment of S/NEC Policy is contrary to this: decommissioning a fully operational and future proofed CWWTP and relocating to prime agricultural land.
