Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

Representation ID: 57606

Received: 11/12/2021

Respondent: Mr J Pratt

Representation Summary:

Relocation of the CWWTP to Honey Hill is contrary to Policy BG/PO: Protecting open spaces (p183 Greater Cambridge Local Plan First Proposals) - a Local Green Space has to be demonstrably special to a local community and hold a particular local significance. Honey Hill is important to the local communities of north east Cambridge, Horningsea and Fen Ditton for recreation - walkers, runners, cyclists and equestrians - and very good quality agricultural land with rich mixture of fauna.
Honey Hill is flat fenland close to the SSSI at Quy Fen so the relocation of the CWWTP will change that character.
