As a local Horningsea resident, I'm raising my concerns below with regards to the planned relocation of sewage works to Honey Hill in Cambridge. - Impact on the conservation areas of Fen Ditton and Horningsea - Building on Green Belt is contrary to national and local planning policies - Construction and operational traffic between Horningsea and Fen Ditton Primary School - Heavy carbon cost of replacing a working sewage works - a private water company being given £227 million of taxpayers money to move and then profit from the sale of land - Possible threat to a Principle Chalk Aquifer - The Principal Chalk Aquifer prevents sinking of structures as the existing site. - Impact on the approach to the historic city of Cambridge from the East - Impact on public rights of way and permissive ways - Impact on Quy Fen – a Site of Special Scientific Interest - Impact on Wicken Fen4 - Impact on the Cambridgeshire Dykes - Construction traffic for the Waterbeach pipeline - Effect of odour on school, residences and businesses - Taking away arable farmland which is helping to feed us (times of food insecurity) - Effect on approach to listed buildings - Effect on wildlife and biodiversity - Lack of consideration given to keeping the plant where it is
