Provide your feedback on the improved recreational opportunities we are proposing

2. Provide your feedback on the improved recreational opportunities we are proposing

Improving access to green spacesWe want to design the setting and appearance of the new facility in collaboration with the local community. During our phase one consultation you told us that enjoying open green spaces is vital for health and wellbeing. Now more than ever, access and the freedom to be able to explore high-quality green spaces is important. We plan to create new footpaths and bridleways to open up recreational access in the area, including to Quy Fen and Anglesey Abbey. Our proposals would form part of a new circular walking route from the facility of 3.5km and longer 9.5km loop for bridleway users, as shown in the image below.Discovery CentreWe want to create a place where people can interact with the water recycling process helping to increase understanding of its vital role in supporting communities and the environment. We will create a Discovery Centre for visitors. This will provide an educational resource supporting the sustainability curriculum so that local children and communities can interact with and learn about the importance of water and the role which water recycling plays in the circular economy. Dedicated parking may be provided for visitors to the Discovery Centre at the gateway of the facility.Please scroll down to provide your feedback<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/commonplace-digital-limited/image/upload/v1624296640/projects/cwwtprproposals/0c608996-0d00-47bb-93a6-96f501502b6a.png" />

Provide your feedback on how the site will look and how it will be accessed. 

3. Provide your feedback on how you would like the site to look

We are committed to developing a high-quality design in partnership with the local community and other stakeholders. The project’s design takes its inspiration from the local landscape character – both past and present – creating a place with a strong sense of identity. This is to ensure that the new facility sits sensitively in and seeks to make a positive contribution to the local landscape within and beyond its boundary, enhancing the environment, providing new habitats for nature and creating a sense of place for visitors and local residents. We are asking for your views on the architectural finish of the externally facing buildings and features of the new facility. This includes a gateway building, the anaerobic digesters, and any screening on top of the earthwork bank.Please see below how we are planning to mitigate the potential visual impact of the new facility by viewing the images below and using the sliding images to see visual illustrations of the facility once it is built and once planting has had time to mature. Please also click on the document below the images to view our proposals on how the gateway building, anaerobic digesters and earthwork bank screening could look.

Provide your feedback on our proposed permanent traffic and access options

4. Provide your feedback on our proposed permanent access route options

The facility will require a new permanent access point for vehicles.We have explored a range of potential vehicle access options, including through engagement with Highways England and Cambridgeshire County Council as the relevant highway authorities. A key consideration is also managing potential disruption to local communities and the existing road network.As a result of this work, we have identified three potential access options for our proposals.These are:Option 1: Access off Junction 34 (Fen Ditton), which consists of two sub options (Option 1A and 1B)Option 2: Access off Junction 35 (Quy)Option 3: A new junction on the north side of the A14We want to hear your views on these options. Feedback will be considered alongside our ongoing technical assessments and engagement with the relevant highway authorities to help us confirm the most suitable access solution. Your feedback will also inform associated mitigation measures that may be explored to further reduce potential impacts to the local community and surrounding environment.Please view the document below to see more information on our proposals. After you have done this, please scroll down to provide your feedback.

Provide your feedback on how we are delivering public value, supporting climate change resilience and our construction measures. 

5. Provide your feedback on other aspects of our proposals

We want to use the opportunity this project presents to provide wider benefits and maximise the public value we can deliver. This will be achieved through a combination of our proposals directly and by working in partnership to support the delivery of local aspirations, creating value both within and beyond the boundaries of the project. This achieves the highest potential for realising environmental and social benefits as a publicly funded project.We are also keen to share with you our proposals to support climate change resilience. We also appreciate that our chosen construction and assembly methods can impact the local community if they are not mitigated and managed robustly. We are committed to minimising these potential impacts.Please click on the document below to see how are proposals are providing wider benefits to the area, maximising public value, contributing to climate change resilience and mitigating potential construction methods.

Thank you for answering our questions on our emerging proposals for the Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant Relocation Project. In this section we would like to hear your feedback on our consultation process.

View our tunnel and/or pipeline options for the three site option areas

4. Provide your feedback on the tunnel and/or pipeline corridor options

The Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant will be relocated to one of three possible site areas. Tunnels and/or pipelines will also be required to take waste water to the new site for treatment and to take treated waste water back to the River Cam.
The tunnel and pipeline corridor options for each site area are displayed in the document below, please click on the document to open it. Please note, we have recently amended our OS maps detailing both ‘Site area 2 option A’ and ‘Site area 2 option B’, following a correction to the versions originally published, which incorrectly displayed the discharge corridors for both options on each map.

Provide your comments on what else we should be considering in our site selection process

3. Provide your feedback on our site selection process

&nbsp;We have identified three possible site areas within which the new waste water treatment plant could be located. These are shown on the interactive map in Box 1.&nbsp;
We welcome your feedback to help us to make a decision on which of the three site areas is most suitable for the relocation project.
In order to answer these questions, you might find it useful to look at our non-technical site selection summary report below. This provides information on our site selection process. It also establishes the process we propose for selecting the final site.
In line with the studies we have already carried out, we will be assessing the following things to help us identify a final site as part of our site selection process, in combination with feedback we get from this consultation:
Environmental – What are the possible effects on the environment and mitigation available?
Community – What are the possible effects on local communities and mitigation available?
Operational – How well does each site provide what Anglian Water needs to be able to operate the project?
Planning – How well does each site meet the requirements of planning policies?
Economic – What is the value for money of each site over the lifetime of the project?
Programme – Can the planning and building of the project be achieved on time for each site?
