Friends of the Cam in solidarity with Save Honey Hill as they decide not to pursue legal challenge

Although the Government approved a plan to move Anglian Water's sewage plant to Green Belt on the outskirts of Cambridge, overriding the clear recommendation from the Government’s own independent planning inspectors that the project should not be given consent, it has since withdrawn the promise of £277 million pounds to effect the move, citing spiralling costs. Anglian Water is now refusing permission for developments in Cambridge, even though the relocated site was not designed to provide extra capacity. Save Honey Hill are delighted at this last minute reversal, but are monitioring the situation closely. Friends of the Cam offer Save Honey Hill our congratulations, and continue to support groups fighting to protect valuable environments, and water sources.
