Cambridge City Council is delighted to announce building new homes on the "Brown Field" land occupied by the sewerage works. Of course they are pleased with themselves, spending over a quarter of a billion pounds they can move the sewer out of their council into South Cambridgeshire or East Cambridgeshire. I venture that the project an proposals rely on deception, half-truths its a con.
No. the project relies on consuming an equal amount of land from the greenbelt
The sewerage relocation project has been split from North East Cambridge Area Action consultation allowing city councilors to evangelise about the wonderful benefits of tiny, expensive overcrowded homes keeping the impacts on the recipient villages of Histon, Impington, Milton, Landbeach, Horningsea off the agenda.
The nature and structure of homes, and communities is so very important to
well-being of each of us. Cambridge has until recently been a small city nestled
amongst quaint, beautiful farming villages. Each of which has welcome regular
growth with the arrival of new families during the decades since the war.
The North East Cambridge proposal, breaks the skin of the greenbelt stabbing
into it and bringing about a new dawn with Cambridge on route to become another
heartless sprawling mass of concrete and tarmac.
Odour mapping shows that despite the promise of new "cleaner" technology; odour from the relocated site will still reach up to 1km. As UK winds are West to South West this is directly in-line to villages of Milton and Landbeach. In fact this is much worse than it is today; where the land to the east of the current site is most unoccupied.
