There is a glaring omission from the plan. There is no mention of the CWWTPR moving to Green Belt.
The move to Green Belt is proposed as a necessity to unlock a brownfield site on which to build a level of housing/office and retail space that is claimed to be needed (according to dubious figures produced before the global pandemic when working and living patterns were very different than they are now). There is a regulatory requirement that the public and all consultees have sufficient information about any significant effects of the Local Plan in order to make a judgement.

There is a regulatory requirement that the public and all consultees have sufficient information about any significant effects of the Local Plan in order to make a judgement. Omitting the relocation of the CWWTP to Green Belt does not allow for a fully informed judgement.
Anglian Water is required to obtain a Development Consent Order (DCO) to see project through. Horningsea Parish Council believes that Councils are hiding behind the DCO. Horningsea Parish Council believes the public has the right to know why it is being expected to give up Green Belt (high grade agricultural land with important recreational value).

It would be interesting to learn how many dwellings in Cambridge are a) student accommodation and b) vacant investment properties (L Frazer did say she'd find out how many weren't paying Council Tax to try to get an idea of this, don't think we as a Parish Council ever received this info). If either of these figures are significant and/ or increasing I believe the Local Plan should consider ways to restrict both moving forward. If investors and colleges snap up a high % of property within Cambridge then that pushes residents out & drives the need to build more.

Horningsea Parish Council believes the proposal to relocate the Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant - a fully functioning waste water treatment plant - to Green Belt is a waste of taxpayers’ money, a waste of Green Belt and an unnecessary contribution to the effects of climate change.

Carbon expenditure, emissions, and embedded carbon to decommission a fully operational waste water treatment plant and decontaminate site and build new plant within 1 mile of existing inclusive of transfer tunnels, HGV traffic etc., should be factored into carbon cost of fulfilling S/NEC Policy

It is very disingenuous and lacking transparency to produce a local plan that does not mention the relocation of the fully functioning Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant to Green Belt, in order to unlock a brownfield site for a development project that was imagined for a living/working community prior to the effects of the global pandemic.

Horningsea Parish Council believes that open spaces already exist on the Honey Hill land that is Green Belt. There is no operational need to move the Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant to Honey Hill. The Horningsea Parish Council believes the public has the right to robustly question whether this relocation is a nationally significant infrastructure project when in fact there is already a fully functioning sewage works already in place.
