Greater Cambridge Local Plan Preferred Options

The settlement hierarchy is generally supported.
We know that a number of sewage treatment facilities upstream from Cambridge are unable to cope during periods of high rainfall (discharging raw sewage) and they are also contributing towards failing water quality by discharging pollution into water courses with low volume flows. We would like to see a policy that ensures that further development in any villages served by such sewage treatment works should be conditional upon improvements to those facilities, so that new development is not making the present situation any worse.
