Mersea - Foul Sewage Proposals

Please listen and ring about your concerns 01473 212121

in the North Fringe latest proposals for Foul sewage and attendant road disruption

SOCS  have just heard that the CREST development may be on Planning Committee agenda published Tuesday 31st  to go to Committee on February 8th 2017!

It seems public concerns have not been addressed! 

Mersea it seems intend to store and pump into the exiting sewerage system which we believe to be a "combined" surface water and sewage system to Cliff Quay.

But does this comply with the EU Legislation and Directive and Haven Gateway Water Cycle 2 requirements?

Severe disruption including congestion and resultant standing traffic and air pollution due to Utility Companies required works for both Mersea and possibly CREST development build out at the same time.

There has been no adequate evaluation of these "compound,  in combination, cumulative risks" of this scenario shown within the two applications for Mersea and CREST.

SOCS do not support “Multi start” development of multiple sites on the IGS due in part to this inevitable disruption.

Mersea's 2014 Application  for 800 houses

IP14/00638/OUTFL was "amended" on 08.12.2016 

The amendments require you to comment again!

 

A response form is available here for all residents as it appears a significant number of the (over 800) respondees who previously commented in 2014, have not received the updated information during December 2016.

Let your local Ward Councillors know your concerns as well.

The issues are essentially much the same as in 2014, but you should respond again as this is due to go to the IBC planning committee in March.
