Cabinet considered a publicly-available report and two confidential appendices relating to the Anglian Water project to relocate the Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Works. A similar report and appendices would be considered by Cambridge City Council.

On 18 December 2019, South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridge City Council had received communications outlining Anglian Water’s proposed arrangements for public consultation. The project represented an important part in the two Councils’ Joint Area Action Plan for North East Cambridge, which envisaged the area becoming a major area for change. The proposed Statement of Community Consultan had been the subject of informal engagement with Anglian Water’s team prior to its submission. The Councils had until 15 January 2020 to reply with comments on the proposed consultation. A response from South Cambridgeshire District Council had been drafted and attached as a confidential appendix to the report.

Those present discussed several issues arising from the confidential appendices.

The Leader asked that proposed locations and ‘footprints’ of the Waste Water Treatment Works should be more specific.
