Mereham and Waterbeach appear on a list
Just as we all thought these ideas for new development had gone away, they reappear in a different guise. Both have appeared on a list produced by the East of England Regional Assembly as sites for new developments in the period to 2031. It is very important to note that these are proposals from developers and have not been approved and I am frankly surprised that Mereham, a site that has recently been so resoundingly rejected by a Planning Inspector after a lengthy public enquiry, should have got anywhere near the list.
However, proposals for Waterbeach (or Denny St. Francis as the developers insist on calling it) with 12,750 dwellings, have not yet been subjected to such a thorough review, and so those of us who are unhappy with the idea of so many houses being built on the barracks site still need to be extremely vigilant. I’ll keep you all in touch with what is going on.
