Matter for discussion
Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council
commissioned consultants Odournet to undertake an
Odour Impact Assessment, in order to assess the level and risk of odour impact posed
by Cambridge Water Recycling Centre (CWRC) to both inform the North East
Cambridge Area Action Plan and aid consideration of development proposals. That
assessment had been completed.
To accompany the study, a technical note had been prepared jointly with
Environmental Health to set out how officers intend to interpret the results of
the Odournet Assessment.
Members of the three Committees (Joint
Development Control Committee – Cambridge Fringes, Cambridge City Planning
Committee and South Cambridgeshire DC Planning Committee) were asked to note
both reports.
Discussions
The Committee received a report from the Senior Planning Policy Officer and the Urban Extensions Project Manager.
Councillor Blencowe said the report had been presented to the Joint
Development Control Committee. If land owners wanted to develop their sites
before the Area Action Plan was approved, or the Water Recycling Centre moved,
the Officer’s report set out assessment criteria for applications to be
measured against.
The Urban Extensions Project Manager said an agent
representing (affected) land owners had submitted a letter objecting to the
report on the morning of committee. Officers would respond to this.
The Committee:
The
Committee unanimously resolved to
note the findings of the ‘Odour Impact Assessment for Cambridge Water Recycling
Centre (2018) (appendix A), and the Technical Note on interpretation of ‘Odour
Impact Assessment for Cambridge Water Recycling Centre’ (October 2018)
(Appendix B), for the purposes of considering planning applications in the
vicinity.
