A site selection process, comprising a number of detailed appraisal steps was developed to identify sites that may be suitable for the relocation of the waste water treatment plant to replace the existing Cambridge WWTP. S.2. The first step was an Initial Options Appraisal, which examined the strategic issues to be considered in investigating relocation options, and also identified the most appropriate area in which to search for new WWTP sites (the Study Area). S.3. The Initial Options Appraisal concluded that the preferred solution for the relocation of the Cambridge WWTP would comprise a single new WWTP, within a Study Area covering the existing Cambridge and Waterbeach drainage catchment areas. S.4. The next step in the process was Stage 1 – Initial Site Selection, which comprised mapping constraints within the Study Area to identify a longlist of potential site areas to be taken forward for further site selection. The initial site selection identified 14 potential areas that could be utilised for the relocation of Cambridge WWTP based on the baseline constraints. S.5. After the initial site selection stage, Stage 2 – Coarse Screening of the longlist of site areas is required to identify a shortlist of the best performing site areas, which would then be taken forward for further screening. This stage is the subject of this report. S.6. The objective of the Stage 2 coarse screening was to identify preferred site areas based on their cumulative performance against a range of criteria. Each site area was evaluated against 16 criteria using a red, amber and green (RAG) assessment which highlighted the potential significance of the different assessment criteria for each site area. The results for each site area were compared with one another on a qualitative basis to identify the best performing site areas to be included in the shortlist. S.7. The following conclusions have been drawn from this study. ● Although the results have been reviewed holistically, certain criteria were considered to be of greater importance in the context of the WWTP relocation. In order of importance these were: – Impacts on local communities – Shape of land parcel and construction complexity – Green Belt policy and site allocation – Carbon emissions ● Where, based on the RAG assessment and option comparison, site areas were clearly disadvantaged, compared with the other site areas, these were removed from further assessment. Site areas D, E, F, G, K, M and N were removed on this basis. ● The remaining seven site areas fell into two distinct groups: – Site areas A, B and C – Site areas that are outside of the Green Belt and have higher tunnelling impacts and risk (due to longer tunnels and greater impact on the Lower Greensand aquifer). – Site areas H, I, J and L – Site areas that are within the Green Belt and have lower tunnelling impacts and risk (due to shorter tunnels and reduced impact on the Lower Greensand and Grey Chalk aquifers). 409071 | 03 | C.4 | | 1 July 2020 Mott MacDonald | Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant Relocation 2 Stage 2 - Coarse Screening Report ● It was not considered possible to differentiate between the two groups, to remove one or the other from further assessment at this stage of the site selection process. It was also not possible to differentiate between the individual site areas within the groups at this stage. ● Development within Green Belt may be acceptable if certain ‘very special circumstances’ exist including, for example, there being no feasible alternatives. Therefore, further investigation is needed to confirm whether site areas outside of the Green Belt are feasible or not. S.8. The seven shortlisted site areas should be taken forward to Stage 3 – Fine Screening, in order to differentiate between the site areas and identify those that are considered to be more suitable. The fine screening stage would include the following assessments: ● Development of the waste water transfer infrastructure requirements for each of the shortlisted site areas ● Cost and carbon emissions estimates for development of a WWTP at each shortlisted site area including tunnelling, and ● Further assessment of the planning and environmental constraints at each of the site areas and whether they can be mitigated. 409071 | 03 | C.4 | | 1 July 2020 Mott MacDonald | Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant Relocation 3 Stage 2 - Coarse Screening Report 1 Introduction This section provides an introduction to Stage 2 – Coarse Screening (this report).Background 1.1.1 A site selection process, comprising a number of detailed appraisal steps was developed to identify sites that may be suitable for the relocation of the waste water treatment plant to replace the existing Cambridge WWTP. 1.1.2 The first step was an Initial Options Appraisal, which examined the strategic issues to be considered in investigating relocation options, and also identified the most appropriate area in which to search for new WWTP sites (the Study Area). 1.1.1 The Initial Options Appraisal concluded that the preferred solution for the relocation of the Cambridge WWTP would comprise a single new WWTP, within a Study Area covering the existing Cambridge and Waterbeach drainage catchment areas (Mott MacDonald Ltd, Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant Relocation - Initial Options Appraisal, 2020a). 1.1.2 The next step in the process was Stage 1 – Initial Site Selection, which comprised mapping constraints within the Study Area to identify a longlist of potential site areas to be taken forward for further site selection.

  • 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.

  • Strategic Environmental Assessment Screening Determination Statement
    Histon & Impington Neighbourhood Plan Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Screening Determination Statement October 2018 Executive Summary This statement sets out the reasons for the determination that the draft Histon & Impington Neighbourhood Plan is unlikely to result in significant environmental effects and therefore does not require a Strategic Environmental Assessment. In addition this statement determines that the making of the Histon & Impington Neighbourhood Plan is not likely to have a significant effect on a European site. This determination statement is intended to demonstrate that the Histon & Impington Neighbourhood Plan is compatible with certain European Union obligations as required by the basic conditions, namely: • Directive 2001/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 June 2001 on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment; and • Article 6(3) and (4) of the EU Habitats Directive and with Regulation 61 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2010 (as amended). Histon & Impington Parish Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council will publish this determination statement in accordance with the regulatory requirements. Determination Statement This statement has been produced to ensure the Neighbourhood Plan will, when examined, comply with the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended) in particular Regulation 32 and Regulation 15(1)e(ii) of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) (Amendment) Regulations 2015. A neighbourhood plan is required to meet a number of basic conditions (which are set out in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990), one of which being it must not breach and must be otherwise compatible with EU and Human Rights obligations.
