The 40% expansion of houses over 21 years is incompatible with the requirements of climate change. Just building these houses will created around 5 million tons of CO2. Even with your limits on water supply that number of homes will require over 10 million litres of water per day. Growth is always exponential and in 100 years your growth rate for Cambridge will have increased housing by around 500%> Totaly unsustainable.
