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.
 See recent EADT reports;





Calls have been made for tougher sanctions by Suffolk County Council on utility firms that overrun on roadworks, after multi-million pound firms were being fined just hundreds of pounds for behind-schedule work.”
