Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant Relocation

Approved

The project involves building a new sewage works facility on land to the north of the A14 between Horningsea and Fen Ditton, known as Honey Hill, to replace the existing plant in the north east of Cambridge. This relocation is part of the wider North East Cambridge development, which could see around 8,000 new homes and new commercial buildings built on the edge of the city. The new sewage works site is proposed to be part of the Hartree development, where plans for around 5,000 new homes are being worked on. The government has committed £277 million to the project, with the overall cost estimated to be around £400 million.
