‘Cobbled together’ water neutrality scheme lacks strategic thought, experts warn
The “cobbled together” water neutrality scheme for Cambridge does not take water scarcity seriously, industry experts have told Utility Week. The scheme – unveiled by the Department for levelling up, housing and communities (DLUHC) – has been devised to address water scarcity concerns which had put the brakes on homebuilding in the area. DLUHC secretary Michael Gove pledged last year to add 150,000 homes in the city, however the Environment Agency has already blocked 9,000 proposed houses due to insufficient water resources.
