I strongly object to the relocation of Anglian Water sewage works from Cowley Road , Cambridge to Honey Hill , Fen Ditton on the following grounds: 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. 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. Loss of recreational area important for mental health and well-being. Industrialisation north of the A14 Impact on public rights of way and permissive ways Impact on Quy Fen – a Site of Special Scientific Interest Impact on Wicken Fen 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) Change of landscape from flat fenland to intrusive bund and digesters Effect on approach to listed buildings Effect on wildlife and biodiversity Lack of consideration given to keeping the plant where it is.
