Cambridgeshire - Environmental Impact Assessment Land Drainage Improvement Works
What is happening?
ENVIRONMENT AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT OF INTENTION NOT TO PREPARE AN ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT Regulation 5 of the Environmental Impact Assessment Land Drainage Improvement Works (Amended) Regulations 1999 SI 1999/1783 as amended by SI 2005/1399, SI 2006/618 and SI 2017/585
Bottisham Pumping Station Footbridge Replacement
The Environment Agency gives notice that it proposes to undertake replacement works to the existing public footbridge located at Bottisham Pumping Station at the confluence of Bottisham Lode and the River Cam in Lode, Cambridgeshire (NGR TL 51031 65803).
The existing footbridge has been closed following inspections identifying extensive corrosion and deterioration. The proposed works comprise removal of the existing bridge superstructure and installation of a replacement pedestrian footbridge, whilst retaining the existing abutments where practicable. The proposed replacement works are planned to take place between 13 January 2027 and 24 March 2027.
The Environment Agency considers that the proposed works are not likely to have significant effects on the environment and does not intend to prepare an Environmental Statement in respect of them.
The works involve the replacement of an existing footbridge on a small scale within an existing operational location. The site is not within 2km of any statutory designated nature conservation sites or heritage designations. A footpath diversion will be in place during the works, and appropriate pollution prevention measures will be implemented throughout construction.
Any person wishing to make representations in relation to the likely environmental effects of the proposed improvement works should do so, in writing, to the address specified below, within 30 days of the date of publication of this notice.
