Draft North East Cambridge Area Action Plan
Policy 4a: Water Efficiency
Representation ID: 54707
Received: 05/10/2020
Respondent: Cam & Ely Ouse Catchment Partnership
Cambridge is a global city and a centre for world research and development, particularly in the fields of health and life sciences. As such, the Cam and Ely Ouse Catchment Partnership recognises the need for growth planned within the North East Cambridge Area Action Plan. However, Cambridge faces significant water challenges and any water committed to supplying development within the North East Cambridge Area Action Plan will be being taken from an environment currently under pressure. The Cam and Ely Ouse Catchment Partnership therefore fully supports the use of the most stringent water efficiency standards for both residential and non-residential development, considering the 80 litres/person/day standard outlined in Policy 4a as the necessary target to work towards site sustainability.

Policy 4b: Water quality and demand
Representation ID: 54716
Received: 05/10/2020
Respondent: Cam & Ely Ouse Catchment Partnership
The Cam and Ely Ouse Catchment Partnership supports the requirement for suitable reassurance to be given prior to development granting that no resulting deterioration in water quality will occur post development, as outlined in Policy 4b. Where possible we determine the aspiration should be for any development to support improvements to existing water quality where schemes allow.

Policy 4c: Flood Risk and Sustainable Drainage
Representation ID: 54742
Received: 05/10/2020
Respondent: Cam & Ely Ouse Catchment Partnership
The Cam and Ely Ouse Catchment Partnership suggests that great consideration should be given to surface water harvesting as a factor of surface water management in North East Cambridge, as mentioned in Policy 4c. Furthermore, considering an integrated approach to water management is vital to ensuring future resource sustainability within the Cam and Ely Ouse.
