Some may recall the previous planning application was withdrawn for a varity of reasons.

If I was given a £ for every time someone e-mails me or posts on SM about a piece of land being developed I’d be a rich man by now.
I am NOT saying land will not be developed and as I have explained to many, there is a web-link at Fenland District Council with all land in Fenland – where landowner(s) have expressed ‘A Wish’ to be included in what maybe a future landbank for development.
This can be found by visiting https://www.fenland.gov.uk/shelaa.
In declaring an ‘interest’ that I am currently a member of FDC’s Planning Committee,
we look at applications that the Chairman in consultation with the head of planning think need the committee to decide on rather than planning officers.
There are other ways an application can come to the committee, if the parish council object this can sometimes then come to committee.
If 6 or more residents object this will trigger the planning committee to consider the application.
If the (FDC) ward councillor or adjacent ward councillor ‘calls in’ the application.
In planning terms there are very tight laws and regulations, so the ability of Policing, (unless they themselves flag up concerns), Hospitals, Medical, and Doctors Surgeries are not materialistic in planning decisions (unfortunately).
Highways/Yes, Education/Yes (County Council) and in some cases a contribution should planning permission be given, known as S106 towards for example play equipment.
Then what-ever Government are in power are always trying to change planning laws.
There is nothing wrong in good sustainable development, but there are many cases locally where ‘we’ have not had the planning reasons to refuse applications….
Next time donate a £ to charity…

I am very proud to have been part of this fantastic group for 15 years, almost from its beginning, still going strong although I don’t go out as much as I used too.
Street Pride is like many other voluntary groups in Whittlesey – run by volunteers and financed primarily by our wonderful sponsors (local) – it is a non political group as it should be, but some are making ‘Cleaning up Whittlesey’ in their political manifesto for their candidacy in local electoions. I’ll address this in another post later.
Well done again to Street Pride.
Ghosting @ PD.
A really good turnout of 19 members, who collected 21 bags of litter plus 3 five gallon drums. Also, not in the picture as they were left on the Peterborough Road, were 5 more bags making it a grand total of 26. Well done to all those that attended.

Due to a misquote made unintentionally by (Cllr) Eamonn Dorling, has now been corrected.
You’re walking home alone, it’s already dark. It’s not far, only a 10 minute journey to home and safety. But then you hear a noise behind you…footsteps. Is someone following you? Or are they just walking home too?
You don’t dare glance back, and the footsteps continue. All the hair on the back of your neck stands up, your pace quickens. You get that horrible feeling in the pit of your stomach.
You get your keys out of your bag, grasp them like this and hold them in your right pocket. In your left pocket, you dial 999 on your phone just in case, ready to press.
This is just a story. But if you’ve ever felt this scared or unsafe, keep reading.
Next weekend officially marks the end of summer, and as the nights draw in and it gets darker earlier, we want to remind you about StreetSafe. It allows you to report safety concerns in public places without ever giving us your name (anonymously).
This includes issues like poorly lit streets or alleyways, abandoned buildings, or vandalism – as well as instances where you feel unsafe due to someone following or verbally abusing you.
Please share and help spread the word – it could make more of a difference than you might think. Find out more about the online tool via our dedicated web page.
Remember – in an emergency, or if you feel in immediate danger, always call us on 999

Although the meeting was in May, the minutes have only just been released.
I am writing to provide you with an update on Anglian Water and Cambridge Water’s proposed new reservoir in the Fens.
We’re pleased to announce that our third phase of consultation is now open and will run from 15 October to 10 December.
The consultation is another opportunity for local communities to get involved and help shape how the project is developed.
The new reservoir is a major investment that will secure water supplies for future generations. And we’re committed to developing it in a way that delivers lasting benefits for the region – a new destination for Fenland where water, people and nature can come together and thrive.
Our latest proposals include an updated design for the reservoir, showing potential opportunities for recreation, nature and connections to local communities – all things we know are important to local people.
Over the next eight weeks, our consultation will focus on the following areas:
– Updated proposals for the reservoir design including how it could feature in the landscape and connect to nearby communities, and the features it could include for people and nature.
– Updated proposals for the raw water and treated water infrastructure we would need to transfer water from sources to the reservoir, treat it, and supply it to Anglian Water and Cambridge Water customers.
– Information on how we could deliver the project including our early thinking on construction and transport options.
– Information on our approach to the environment including how we’re assessing the project’s potential impacts, what we’ve learned to date, and how we propose to reduce and manage any impacts during both construction and operation.
– Early plans on providing power for the reservoir including our current proposals for powering the site using renewable technology.
A range of new consultation materials have now been published on our website, alongside an interactive map, brochures, and clear instructions on how you can provide feedback.
Information about the locations and dates of our community events can also be found on our website here. And for the first time, we will have a 3D model of the reservoir on display at our events.
Feedback from local communities and other stakeholders plays an important role in shaping our proposals. This is an opportunity to create a place that everyone values, and that’s why you have an important role to play.
You can submit your feedback online, in writing at Freepost Fens Reservoir, or by email (info@fensreservoir.co.uk). Printed feedback forms will also be available at events or upon request.
We look forward to seeing you at our consultation events in November.
If you would like to speak with us about the consultation process, or the project more broadly, please contact us at info@fensreservoir.co.uk or get in touch by freephone: 0800 915 2492.
Kind regards
Sarah Alexander
