Site constraints 2

National infrastructure project 474 m away: Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant Relocation
The site is 474 m from the project boundary. Waste water treatment, decided. The project page says whether consent was granted. Also within 2 km: A14 Cambridge to Huntingdon Improvement Scheme (decided, 1093 m); East West Rail - Bedford to Cambridge and Western improvements (at pre-application, 30 m).
Nationally significant infrastructure projects (power stations, electricity lines, pipelines, major roads and railways, harbours, airports and reservoirs) are consented by a Secretary of State under the Planning Act 2008, after an examination by the Planning Inspectorate, rather than by the council. The boundary is the one the Inspectorate consults on and can change as the scheme does. Projects are shown within 2 km of the site.
