Horningsea Planning

Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant Relocation (CWWTPR)

Anglian Water has selected Honey Hill for Cambridge’s new sewage works. The move is to allow the City and District Councils to build 5,600 houses plus office and retail space on the current site as part of the North East Cambridge Area Action Plan (NECAAP).

Honey Hill lies next to the A14 between the villages of Horningsea, Fen Ditton and Quy on the north east outskirts of Cambridge City.

Save Honey Hill is a community group formed to reject the proposal to relocate the Cambridge sewage treatment works from Milton to Honey Hill, a beautiful unspoilt, quality green field and arable site and the entry point to Wicken Fen. Honey Hill is in Green Belt land which forms part of an essential green lung around Cambridge.

Waterbeach Barracks development

Unfortunately we felt that the presentation in that meeting did not address the topic of Horningsea. Even though this village is likely to see considerable negative effects from the development, these are currently not matched by any benefits.

The group will strive to ensure that if the development goes ahead, there are positive developments to benefit Horningsea to offset the inevitable negative aspects.

The main aims will be:

  • Gather feedback from residents.
  • Produce a list of specific items that will mitigate negative aspects.
  • Produce a list of positive benefits to the village that might be possible.
  • Be a public advocate for the village to achieve the items on these lists.

If you feel you could be helpful to the group please email us.
