Marshall recognises the approach that the GCSP are taking regarding the timescales for the Local Plan relative to the North East Cambridge allocation.

Whilst the approach to the Local Plan and North East Cambridge AAP / DCO is acknowledged, there is a risk that the relocation waste water treatment plant proposals could be delayed, which in turn will influence the remaining stages of the Local Plan process, should the Local Plan continue to be contingent on Anglian Water’s DCO. The GCSP should consider accelerating the Local Plan ahead of the DCO if this begins hold up the progress of the Local Plan.

Marshall is continuing to work proactively with Anglian Water to consider opportunities to interlink the new waste water treatment plant site with Cambridge East. This includes looking at opportunities to join-up connectivity through walking / cycling routes and opportunities to deliver green infrastructure and biodiversity net gain.
