EA generally happy with the water quality/wastewater aspects of the draft SPD.
EA fully endorse the statement in Section 5.60: "Ongoing consultation with Anglian Water will be undertaken to ensure the development proposal meets their requirements".
EA would prefer to see an additional "To avoid foul flooding of existing properties, and to avoid pollution of the local water environment, all planning applications should include a Pre-Application Assessment Report from Anglian Water confirming that there is sufficient capacity to accommodate foul drainage from the site or phase of development".
Please see e-mail attached.

The Cambridge sewage treatment works is already overloaded leading to complaints about unpleasant odours for many years now. This development, combined with all the others in progress around Cambridge can only exacerbate the problem. There is no mention of any upgrading to overcome the issue, or who is to pay for such upgrading. This should surely be responsibility of the developers who are overloading the system, not the existing users.
