I am objecting to these proposals for environmental, economic and site suitability reasons. Environmental: loss of green belt land and adverse effects on local wildlife. Huge carbon cost of new structures Economic: tax payers money being used to move a facility unnecessarily at a time of national economic hardship. Site suitability: the Honey Hill site is unsuitable for a sewage works due to its situation on a principal chalk aquifer. This will cause a risk of contamination of rivers and drinking water supplies, and huge negative visual impact as the tanks can not be sunk into the ground
