This growth represents a challenge to both districts in ensuring that both the water environment and water services infrastructure has the capacity to sustain this level of growth and development proposed. An Outline Water Cycle Study (WCS) has therefore been undertaken to identify any constraints that may be imposed by the water cycle and how these can be resolved. Furthermore, it provides a strategic approach to the management and use of water which ensures that the sustainability of the water environment in the study area is not compromised. Three potential Growth Scenarios covering housing and employment targets for each authority have been discussed and agreed with the relevant planning officers at Fenland District Council (FDC), East Cambridgeshire District Council (ECDC) and Cambridgeshire County Council (CCC) and these scenarios have been tested in the Outline WCS. Neither authority was in a position to provide a definitive list of potential development locations; hence it has been necessary to carry out the assessment of capacity at a strategic level for this Outline Study. Wastewater Strategy Wastewater Treatment Several WwTWs have capacity to accept wastewater flow from some growth, and the WCS has shown that wastewater flow from growth for all three scenarios at these locations can be accommodated within existing consent conditions. However, several WwTWs do not have capacity to accept and treat any further wastewater from growth at the current time (i.e. before growth is considered) without requiring an increase in the volumes that they are permitted (or consented) to discharge. For these catchments (and hence growth towns) a solution is required to treat additional wastewater generated as a result of growth. The Outline solution for these WwTW is to determine if the WwTW can increase the volume they are permitted to discharge without deteriorating downstream water quality of the receiving watercourse and impacting on ecology. A modelling process was therefore agreed with the Environment Agency and undertaken for all three housing growth scenarios. The key results were that: • the WwTW serving Soham, Burwell, Bottisham, Whittlesey and Doddington cannot achieve required water quality conditions for all three growth scenarios within the limits of conventional treatment 1 and without affecting the ability of receiving watercourses to meet future targets under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) – an alternative solution is therefore required in the detailed WCS for growth in these locations; however, Bottisham WwTW could accept approximately 30% of planned growth before targets would be unachievable; 1 A description of the treatment processes considered to be normal before advanced (and more energy intensive) technology is required to treat to higher standards. Main Planning Report: FINAL April 2011 6 East Cambridgeshire and Fenland Outline Water Cycle Study • the watercourses downstream of the discharges points of the WwTW serving Soham, Burwell, Bottisham, Whittlesey and Doddington have been shown to be unable to meet Good Status under the WFD, but additional modelling is needed to demonstrate whether it is the growth that is preventing

  • Cambridge Nature Network Final Report
    Cambridge Nature Network Final Report FOREWORD I’m delighted to introduce this important report. For years, now, we have known we need to ensure nature’s recovery, and for years that has been an all-too-elusive ambition. In fact, we are still overseeing nature’s decline. It’s a ship that simply must be turned around. Now we have a clear way forward. This report, building on the ambition to double nature in Cambridgeshire, tells us precisely how and where we can do it. Working from the ground up, looking at real places and the actual state of nature, it offers for the first time a tangible plan for the revitalisation of nature in the 10km around the city of Cambridge, based on what is already there and how it can be brought back to life. And there’s more. Fully integrated with the vision for nature recovery is one for the enhancement and creation of green spaces for public recreation and refreshment – vital needs, as we have come to understand fully during the covid-19 crisis. The risk with nature recovery is that in our enthusiasm we may do the wrong thing in the wrong place: plant trees on peat or valuable grassland, or put hedgerows in where the landscape should be open. This report will ensure we do the right thing in the right place. It provides a place-based analysis of where existing nature sites can be enhanced, what kind of nature-friendly farming to encourage, how to create stepping-stones to create new, linked nature networks, and how, overall, the ambition for doubling nature can be met.
