Councillor Claims Housing Approvals Ignore Sewage Capacity Issues Raised by Anglian Water
WATER INFRASTRUCTURE & DESALINATION
Borough councillor Terry Parish has raised concerns that housing developments are being approved despite Anglian Water's warnings about sewage capacity issues at the Heacham Water Recycling Centre. He states that the centre is at maximum capacity and that the water company has objected to several planning applications, including one in Sedgeford, due to potential environmental risks. Despite objections, some developments have been approved, leading to fears of inadequate sewage management as tourism increases.
