Representation Summary:

We would recommend that Ashwell Water Recycling Centre should be excluded from the designated wildlife corridor.

The 8 metre buffer zone would appear to limit Anglian Water's ability to bring forward development which is required at Ashwell Water Recycling Centre to accommodate further growth or further drivers.

Full text:

It appears that Ashwell Water Recycling Centre (formerly wastewater treatment works) which is managed by Anglian Water forms part of the proposed wildlife corridor. This is essential water recycling infrastructure which is used continuously to serve our customers within the Washbrook catchment which includes Ashwell, Ashwell End and Hinxworth.

As such we would recommend that Ashwell Water Recycling Centre should be excluded from the designated wildlife corridor.

Reference is made to development in the watercourses being subject to a 8 metre buffer zone on each side of the channel. This would appear to limit Anglian Water's ability to bring forward development which is required at Ashwell Water Recycling Centre to accommodate further growth or further drivers.
